last week livia competed in her first cross country meet. I have say that I have NEVER been a runner, but I was excited to see that Livia wanted to "give a go" when the opportunity presented itself. Each year at the beginning of the school year, Park Elementary holds a Cross Country meet for grades 2-5. Since Livia is a second grader (sigh) this year, she was finally able to participate. Here are some pictures from the after school meet. Enjoy!

the second and third grade girls waiting for the gun to fire to signal the beginning of the race...can you see that they are ready to run?
the girls had to run 600 meters (2 times around the park)

livia placed 7th out of 23 second and third grade girls with a time of 3:03...we are so proud of her!
