X cOuNtRy - ThE sPaRkS iNviTaTiOnAl

So, how do you run
a x-country race?
Well, if you're a girl,
first, you put your hair in a pony tail,
(and look cute.)
Then, you hang around the starting line
(with the 19 other competing schools).

Wait, for the whistle,
and run!
(Fast!)
After about a mile,
round the first bend, and
you're ready to tackle the tunnel.
Run another mile and a half,
and come back through the tunnel.
After 3 miles, you're ready for the home stretch.
Go, Chels!
And, you're home!
Now, if you're a boy,
look over the map.
(Don't worry about looking cute.)
Line up.
And gooooooooooo!

'Rounding the first bend and...

into the tunnel!

Under the road, up through the hills, back down through the tunnel again,
and out!
Woo-hoo--the home stretch, and...time to relax!
Only two meets left--
one at the boys' juvey school ('bet Chels runs extra fast),
and the other is regionals.
It's been a fun season!

You guys are awesome! However, I must ask, who is that handsome young man claiming to be your son? Nathan has always been super cute but suddenly he looks so grown up? What gives???
