Ethan and Jonah are running cross country this year as Freshman. They get up at 4:45 am every other day to run before school starts and then stay after school for two hours of running on the other days.
I have been so impressed with them. They have only complained once about going and the other times they get up by themselves and go. Even when they are super tired and just ran for two hours the day before.
They had their first meet last Saturday and did really well!
Josh ran cross country in High School and he loved the camaraderie with the team and learning skills as self motivation, determination, diligence and hard work. He is so thrilled that they have decided to run this year! They ran on their Jr High team last year and almost every day this summer with Josh.
Plus, they have each other as running buddies! How cool is that? One Saturday practice, Ethan came in and we couldn't find Jonah for another twenty minutes. I began to worry that he had landed in the canal (that's where they go running). When he finally came in, he said that he was running with a big group that stopped for water at a gas station. He ended up having run a 7 miler! Way to go, Jonah! I love it!
