she's a runner

Caroline has been running with school teams [Wasatch Junior] for the past yearish. I'd see her on the occasional Saturday run but thought nothing of it. I should have foreseen her potential when she starting running with Spencer.

This year she is a 9th grader, which means she can compete at the high school [Skyline High] level. Caroline has been consistently placing quite well in meets. But on Wednesday Caroline ran at THE state cross country meet in Sugarhouse Park. The mother of all races.

5 years ago Wes also ran at this race. I went to see him. It was brutal. They had guys on oxygen, guys throwing up, guys passing out... It was brutal. But Wes looked quite nice in his spandex uniform.

I didn't get to see Caroline race this year. But hello! She came in 2nd! Not 2nd in her age category, not 2nd from her school, 2nd IN THE WHOLE RACE! She beat all those big bad seniors, juniors, and sophmores! Caroline actually passed this girl in the picture, 839, the number one girl runner from Skyline. Not any more! Muahahah!

I'll be honest. Did not know she was this good.

Caroline. 838. Doesn't she just look like a running Weiler? Blonde blonde hair, red face, skinny arms and skinny legs. I'm in a class right now where we learn how to write training programs for athletes. I have taken it upon myself to train Caroline. She doesn't know this yet.

You go girl. You go.
