Last Cross-country meet

This afternoon we went to Michael's last meet for the season. Teams from 20 different schools participated...probably 400 or more runners altogether. In cross-country, teams from different schools compete and runners compete against each other, but that's not all. Each runner also runs against himself or herself, trying to become a better runner and improve his/her time for running the two mile course. Michael has improved steadily over the season, and today he posted his best time ever. We are really proud of him.

No picture of Michael today unfortunately. It was getting dark and the shots I got of him are blurry due to a slow shutter speed, despite an 800 ISO. So today you are seeing a picture from the girls' race which was run first when the light was better.
