Expert running advise

Thanks for these great tips, Kate!

1. Don't forget to stretch:

2. Let nothing stand in your way.

3. But don't be over-confident!

We have officially seen the close of the cross country season with the final Awards Banquet held at the coach's house.

Daniel received the "Rookie of the Year" Award!

One last shot of those crazy guys.

Inverness Jingle Bell 5k

Ran the Jingle Bell 5k in Inverness today. It was nice and cool but the sun was shining enough to get a big sweat going!
3 Gandees ran this race today: Me, Daniel(14) and Jaret(11)
Jaret did a great job on this tough course with a time of 27:05. He has only been running steadily for 2 weeks for this race. He did awesome!
Daniel was 1st place in his age group and had a good time with his cross country buddies.(and he refuses to let me get any pictures!!)
I was the 3rd overall female to come in and also the first female over 40 to come in so that means I was the Master Female Winner. Yippee! This was my course record at 22:32.
