Here's the sight that, immediately, caught my eye. The firemen had taken a huge American flag and draped it from the ladder on their fire engine.
Brittany is standing in the middle of all the runners playing out her strategy.
And they're OFF! Come on, Britt...take those boys down...not to mention that little speed demon right next to you!
Woo hoo...those boys ate her dust!
There were runners everywhere!
Coming in to the finish with a time of 20:33! She was so disappointed that the girl who finished in front of her took her right at the final stretch.
But, she was the 2nd female to finish, overall, and got a nice plaque to show for it! It was a great race to get her geared up for cross country season next month! I'm very proud of her accomplishment!
Then, on Sunday afternoon, we drove Brittany and her best friend, Alicia, to running camp at Berry College in Rome, GA. They went with about 30 of their teammates (boys and girls). They'll be there until tomorrow afternoon. Here they are in their very basic dorm room trying to act like they're thrilled with their living conditions. I had to laugh because it's no different from any other dorm room I've ever seen. Oh, those girls have a rude awakening coming to them! Hee hee!
Brittany called last night and said they've been going non-stop...waking up at 7 AM for an 8-mile run. Then, they have a running clinic to attend, as well as various team building activities. She said she's having a lot of fun, but that she's tired. I'm sure she'll be glad to come home tomorrow, and I'll be happy to have her back!"You have a choice.
