Race Day!


On Saturday, JT’s team ran a race at Harness Memorial Park in Connecticut.  The course cuts along the Atlantic Ocean and it’s a pretty place to watch a race.  JT likes the course because he ran is personal best there last season.  He ran hard on Saturday and we were glad to cheer him on.



His time wasn’t as good as he hoped.  Several of the runners took a spill at the start of the course and JT was running on a sore calf that might signal a more serious injury.


But the day was sunny and the team engaged in their post-race swim in the Atlantic.

There was a picnic for families and nothing quite cheers a mama’s heart like the sight of a table full of boys eating like wolves.


We even made a rare picture of the three of us together.


Seeing JT race always makes me glad.  He’s doing what he loves with teammates who have the making of life long friends.  There is laughter and pleasure in one another’s achievements.  I know he’s at school that makes him happy and proud; there is such comfort in that knowledge.
