No surprise he is becoming a great cross country athlete...plus he loves it, which is what really matters.
I remember thinking when he was 2 when he was constantly running away from me, never walked anywhere that he was going to be a great runner someday. He also took off one day down a busy street before I could see where he went - had to call 911 - our neighbors found him running down the street in his pj's bare feet, laughing, as happy as could be. Wasn't so funny then....but now I can smile about it.
He has decided to sign-up for some 5K's and 10K's this winter and he is also going to run on the Track team next spring.
Way to go Jaron - we loved watching you run this Fall! I am sure we will continue to watch you run!!! :) We love you, and are proud of your accomplishments!
