Tanner bought some new cross country shoes yesterday. They made me think of our cross country adventures this summer. It was quite a journey. He paid for these shoes by himself, having been able to earn money while visiting his aunt or uncle or grandparents. I appreciate family for that. He's running this year, for the first time, to stay in shape for basketball. He's up against some runners who have been doing this for seven years! He's on his third day. I keep reminding him: It's not about the race, it's all about the journey. It's good advice for me as well. Sometimes I race through my day, inside my house, and forget the little people with me on my journey. So here's to cross country, new running shoes, and enough quiet time to ponder.

with all you have done this summer...you NEED some quiet time in your life. Good luck to Tanner in his running. :)
...and may you ponder splendiforously.
Nice shoes!! Watch out for blisters, and good luck with your running, Tanner.
Running is my favorite thing to do. It is something that is all yours. No matter how slow I am, I am doing my best. Good luck with the running, it is something you will always be able to do-cheap & quickly!
