5K Maddie

Maddie and Marissa have been getting up at 6:30 most mornings this summer to run with the Cross Country team in order to stay in shape for soccer. Maddie doesn't love running but she does love soccer and knows she needs to stay in shape for that. Marissa's older brother is the star cross country runner of the High School, so he drives them to wherever they're going to run for the day and they run like 4 miles then sit and talk while he runs like 10 miles. It's a good system. Marissa asked Maddie if she wanted to run a 5k for Alpine Days and she said,"Sure!" She actually said she's glad she did it but she'll probably never do it again, it was tough. I think her time was around 27 minutes. I actually was waiting for a long time to get a picture of her crossing the finish line but then started talking to Marissa's mom and missed the opportunity. Oops. Good job, Maddie and Marissa!
