Emma has been training like crazy for her very first race - the Jr Regional Cross Country School Meet - and she's been loving every minute of it. The race was October 6th at the Terry Fox Center in Ottawa and the day was . . . well . . . wet! It was pouring out and cold, but it didn't stop the kids!
There were about 200 participants in the age 9 girls group.
The girls from Emma's school getting ready to start (and soaked at the same time!)
Just finished the hills and now heading into the wooded area.
Coming out of the woods and onto the track for the last 100 meters - Emma's #13 in the black
The finish line is in site and wow - she sure sprinted hard for the last bit!!!
Emma enjoyed herself (and the day off of school) and can't wait to race again, so it looks like we're going to be finding some more kids' marathons and cross country races that she can participate in. It's a blast watching how much fun she has and how she pushes herself to her limits with sports . . . she'll be one to keep an eye on in the future!!!

Tell her uncle Duff said 13 is a great number, her dad's basketball number, mine, and even Thad's hockey number! Oh, and she's a full head taller than EVERYONE! Cool!
