Not what you want to see when you pick your child up from country practice and it's 100° outside

The sweet girl Cynthia that I ran with yesterday collapsed in the heat.. I'm not sure if it is heat exhaustion or heat stroke but I know she was unconscious. The coaches did a great job of getting help to her fast. She will be fine. However this heat is no joke!

They didn't scare Nate off though. But when he goes to the next practice Thursday night you better believe he will have a shadow running with him.... His mom!

Cross country

Nate went out for varsity cross-country today. 39 kids showed up to run at Oconee Station. It was 97°.

I was so impressed with the kids. They were all so  encouraging to each other.

I decided to run with them. We ran for about 45 minutes to an hour.

And then it was time for the hills. We had to run a very steep hill seven times. It took about 45 minutes. I couldn't finish. I loved it so much and so did Nate!

Tomorrow night we run at sertoma field. There's very little shade there. It's going to be another tough one but we are ready for it!

Wilderness at the Smokies

Too much fun!

Luke as catcher

Luke's hit in semifinals... and he scored!
