day one hundred and fifty-three | 2011

After running really well at her school Cross-Country a couple of weeks ago, Xanthia qualified for the District Cross-Country which ran today… she moved up an age group this year, and as a result, also moved up a distance class – she had to run a full 3km!

Despite being quite nervous for the past couple of days, Xan was relaxed and energetic leading up to her race… just havin' fun with her besties!

Well, after lots of mucking around and frivolity – the time had come… all the 11 girls (for those who turn/ed 11 in 2011), from five different schools, lined up… and away they went!!

I am so, so, so, very proud to say that my tiny, little, 10 year old, Xanthia came second… SECOND!!

This girl is seriously amazing!
