Our resident Cross Country runner ran her final race of the season this afternoon at the Regional Championships. She hasn’t been very happy with her times lately and was hoping that today she could do better.
Her incredible father, as overloaded as he is with work, announced in a meeting he was conducting that he had to leave early for a family commitment, and dashed home to pick Nathan and I up and get us all down to Westlake High School in Saratoga Springs just in time for Jamie’s race.
She didn’t mess around one bit out there and was uptop happy when she realized she had indeed PR’d today. (Or, shall we say, she set her Personal Record.)

All the runner’s are scanned in when they start a race, and the computer tracks everything about them except for their favorite toothpaste. When they finish, they are handed this nifty little card.
I’ve just got to stop crying at races. It’s getting embarrassing. You would think I was related to Jim.
Nathan is our family’s Official Course Rememberer. Somehow, he always knows around which bend Jamie is going to pop up next and gets us into the proper cheering positions before she gets there.
Happy PR Day!
Jamie!! That's awesome!! and Nathan is just so cool. I miss that kid,. He was always the best at my games too.
