The Beat Goes On
I could not resist posting boasting about The Boy being one of the top placers at the league championships for cross country on Saturday. And he set a PR! His high school running career is nearly over so it was good to see him do well. I’m proud of him. The first thing that he did when he got home after the meet was put his award on the mantle. His all league award for wrestling is his favorite; but this one is a close second. Winning isn’t everything but I still enjoy watching him be successful because of determination and hard work. I think it’s a very good lesson for life.
Congratulations … and fantastic to hear (in addition to all the other fantastic sights on your site) … I have one the same age in the USA … but we still have a couple of weeks to go to the league meet…
It must be great to see your son excell in his endeavours. It’s obvious how proud you are.
Congrats to the Boy for his award.
Congrats…Man, Wrestling. I remember when I had to do that in High School.. One year of losing weight to make class was enough for me thanks…

Lout: The cross country season isn’t as long as it is in some other areas because of the weather. It’s been pretty hot in Ohio this year; but it can get pretty chilly by the end of the season, especially for the teams that advance into the state tournament. And for once, the weather on the around Halloween matters. For the first time in a long time, they could still be running then.
Alfie: He did well at wrestling too. Bout cross country is the sport that he’s done the best at through hard work. Athletically, he’s probably more a wrestler than a runner; so he has to work harder at it to achieve the same results.
SirMike: Thanks. Winning isn’t everything; but it’s good to have some success from time to time.
Flyinfox_SATX: I don’t know which is worse, loosing weight before the season starts, or staying at a lower weight year around. Of course it all seems worth it when you’re standing up there on the podium with a medal around your neck.
