Tanner has been getting up at 6:45 to run with the cross country team every morning, well, almost every morning. We have a neighbor that is an amazing runner in High school so he talked Tanner and some of his friend into working out every morning. So, a big group of boys entered the 5K for our City Days. Here's Daniel, Tanner, and their Young Men's leader right before the race. There was actually a lot of people there from our neighborhood. Pretty fun.
The race started at 7am on a Saturday, ugh. I asked the kids if they all wanted to get up early to support Tanner, they went back and forth but finally decided to all come. They had a pancake breakfast that we ate while Tanner ran the race. Jon looks like he's thinking "Nobody better touch my eggs!" He said he was just still waking up.
Jon is giving Tanner a big hug after he finished. He came in around 100 out of 400 people and his time was around 26 minutes. He still doesn't think he's quite good enough to go out for the cross country team next year but he's getting a lot of great exercise.

Tanner-Way to go! Do Cross Country! You will not regret it. It is the funnest sport with the coolest kids. :-) Your aunt's 2 cents:-) And you didn't even have to ask for it. Ha ha
I so don't understand cross country. I'm glad Tanner is enjoying it though. I see Max and Seth in their fleeces. Was it cold?
