A proud moment for a dad

Maddie is running track this Spring. She is a beautiful 13 year old girl, built just like her mom. She has strong legs and a great stride.

On Saturday, we went to a track meet and watched her run a mile. Her personal best was 6:53. We discussed the strategy for the race for her and she went out to run it. Wow! She looked amazing and tears came to my eyes as I watched her run as we discussed and she was so strong! Her time???? 6:39. An amazing improvement. She finished 2nd in 7th grade girls and 5th overall in the race!
