Well the day has come .. the boys had been practising at school .. Cam said he has only been able to do one lap and he gets tired .. but that completely slipped my mind .. so I completely forgot about talking to the school about him having a buddy to go around with him .. what a terrible mother I am!!!!
Waiting patiently for their age group to be called up
Posing before they - Ready, set ...
Off they GO!
So the cross country .. Michael ran well and came 10th .. yehaaa!
Cam unfortunately didn't finish .. and was quite upset .. he said under his tummy was really sore (which he says when he is really puffed and having to work hard) about halfway - so I wonder whether it was the stitch as someone from the HLHS group mentioned??
So we might have to think of a plan next year methinks .... ..sure is a hard one .. but the great thing he did try to do it
..both got a certificate at the end to say they finished
I'm sure lots of parents face .. you want to help them .. but also want them to have the 'resilience' to face this sort of thing .. as it will come up more than once in their lives .. last year he had an older student with him .. so maybe that is an option .. he said he was upset too coz he was left all alone by himself :-( ..
Will talk to the school next yr when it comes around .. who knows he may have a bit more stamina .. but hubby is of the mind.. just not to do it .. but I'm of the mind .. if he wants to .. let him .. but with some way 'assistance' to help him to finish the course in some way .. :-)
