Catherine's first race

I'm not exaggerating to say I've dreamed about this for a long time -- Catherine's first one-miler! And I was lucky enough to be running at her side. She ran a 10:03, which is pretty respectable for a 7-year-old. She also won for the 8-and-under age group.

But what really struck me was that when she got tired, she soldiered on, and I could hear her whispering to herself, "I can do anything with God at my side."
