watch cross

has your get up and go got up and went? is that first step out the front door getting more and more challenging with less and less daylight to run with?

go watch a middle school (or high school) cross country meet. watch the start of the race with the (sometimes) hundreds of kids streaming across a field. stand at the top of a sizable hill and encourage the middle/back of the pack runners as they struggle to climb.

see the proud smile of the kid who finishes first and notice the same beaming smile of another kid who fought hard to the finish. the next time you lace up those running shoes, that first step won’t seem quite so difficult.
