XC kick off * 2017

after being unsure all summer 
ben went to orientation at BHS 
and came home wanting to sign up for cross country

we got him signed up
and he started practice the next morning

today was their first meet


he finished the 5k in 25:00

he was really happy that
a. he finished
and
b.  didn't throw up like a guy in front of him did

i am so excited that he decided to run

he is having a blast.
he loves practices.


it's a great group of kids


and it's fun to see ben so happy while he's out running


this meet was at anoka high school
and it was blaine, anoka, andover and champlain park





this is the entire group of freshman runners


and these are some of the guys that got ben to sign up ;)


they are all in CEMS together
and i have a feeling they are going to have a fun season!

we followed the meet up with an impromptu lunch at pizza ranch


where alex pretty much had pickles


and cactus bread


and in case you were wondering ...
no ...
they don't give discounts to small wolves ...
