The girls began track this weekend. It was the entire family's induction into youth track, which sadly we did not know existed until this year. The kids had, not-so-surprisingly different reactions to the prospect. The red-headed one was excited, she has been known to proclaim "I love running, it feels so free". Whereas the blond one indicates that more than half-way around the track is just uncomfortable, and fails to see why this would be fun.
In the end, I think they both had a great time, and while a bit longer than anticipated, it was fun to watch them both test out the waters of the track and field events.
Natalie had incredible form for her first time in a relay.
And Linnea discovered her event - the 800m.
While they are both young and this was their first meet, if this meet was anything like the future, it's going to be fun watching them grow in this sport. The red-headed one had an unstoppable 800m rhythm, there are no competitors in the picture for this reason.
Looking forward to the next one and watching them grow into their chosen activities.
