Run Reagan Run

A Middle School District Track Meet...does it ever end?

We were so pleased to see Reagan excel at track this year, she loved it! Her coaches loved it as well. The poor thing was put in four events in the district meet, which meant she ran 2.25 miles in races that one day. Whew! You can see Reagan waiting for the baton in the first race of the day, the distance medley. Reagan was the anchor and ran an 800m or 2 times around the track. She put them in first place.

Reagan's next race was the mile or 4 times around the track. Another great race. She finished second right behind her soccer teammate Riley.

Reagan's 3rd race of the day was the 800m run and nearly broke her heart. Again she came in 2nd to Riley. That second child of mine is so competitive! It's almost as if she has seen the movie Talladega Nights with Will Ferrel. Race car driver Ricky Bobby's crazy dad tells him, "If your not first your last!" which drives his insatiable desire to win.

Reagan leads Riley most of the race

The very last race of the day, 4+ hours later, was the mile relay. Also called the 4x400m. Reagan again was the anchor but just couldn't make up the deficit of the previous 3 runners. She tried so hard and was flat out exhausted, just like the rest of her relay runners. I have never seen Reagan so frustrated and disappointed with her performance that day but we were very proud of her.

Thank goodness for chiropractic care and good nutrition including essential oils which helps Reagan rebuild and rejuvenate her body. This girl sets and meets goals then pushes herself to go just a little bit further. Love ya Girl! Give God all the glory for your gifts are from the creator.
