Katie (my daughter) has a weekly writing assignment in 5th grade. This week she had to write an "ode to something." After much thought, she chose to write about running. I thought her poem was AH-MAZE-ING, but isn't that right up there on the top requirements of the Mom job description?
Katie doesn't actually run that much, so I was surprised to read in this poem how much she really enjoys it. Most of her "running" is around the backyard, on the playground, on the soccer field, or around the bases of the softball field. She wants to run a 10k this summer though so she'll need to log some miles with her Mamma to do that well.
With that said, I was totally encouraged by her sweet and talented poem. I hope you are too.
