VCS Cross Country Season Recap

by

Cross Country

For the first time in 8 years Vienna Christian School fielded a Cross Country Team. The team consisted of only one boy and one girl, but we had a lot of fun and I’m really proud of how they improved over the course of the season.

We weren’t able to run against other schools, so we ran in small races in and around Vienna. The races ranged in length from 4K-6K, and they ran well from the start.

They each placed first in their age group at our first race and never looked back.

I think one of my runners sums up the season quite well:

“Thank you for coaching our cross country team! Even though our team was tiny, we accomplished a lot (with our trophies and medals :))…I enjoyed my last cross country season in high school.”

Young Man, There’s a Place You Can Go

YMCA_Week5Back by popular demand! Here is the fifth in the series of YMCA photos. Sooner or later I’ll be ready for my cameo on the Village People Reunion Tour. I’m also making an attempt to break the record for most diverse collection of tank tops in a series of YMCA photos. Someone call Guinness. Or send me a new tank top. I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up.

Check out my previous attempts below and see how much progress I’ve made.

This is a cream my physical therapist gave me to rub on my scar.

Ringelblumen are Marigolds.

This cream is supposed keep the skin around my scar from drying out or something like that.

Tricia also claims that this cream makes me smell like her grandma.

I think I’ll take that as a compliment.

So here’s week 3. I am now seeing a physical therapist once a week, so having some consistent care and advice is very helpful. Please continue to pray that my recovery process goes smoothly and quickly.
