One of my biggest jobs as a parent is to teach my kids resilience and to never give up on your hopes and dreams even if things are tough. Yesterday Indigo had regional cross country she has been training hard for it for weeks but of course on Monday woke up super sick. With a shear amount of determination Monday we spent doing all the natural remedies we know to get on top of the virus, she woke up Tuesday a million times better, but still not 100%. She didn’t want to try and get an exemption she just wanted to go out and give it a red hot crack. If she had ran her PB she would have been off to states but she ran a minute slower then that and came half way down the pack at 17th. To me that was an even bigger win than making it to states. This shows that rapping out kids in cotton wool is not the answer if we won’t them to be the best version of themselves. Watch out 2027 we now have a very determined girl to make it to states.
