Character, perseverance, and all that good stuffMy son has not had the type of Senior season he was hoping for in XC.  He’s been solid, if unspectacular.  Some injuries and time off have played a role.  I asked him how he felt about some teammates finishing higher than him at the last couple meets, and he replied, “Dad, it’s not their job to slow down, so I can catch them.  It’s my job to go faster.”  My thought was that some of these character conversations about keeping your head down and doing your job have hit home with him.   I’m always thankful when I find that my kids listen to me at times like this, and not just during profanity laces tirades.
