Yesterday marked Tatum’s FINAL cross country meet, and not just any meet, but a statewide race with runners from all over. Just qualifying to be there was an honor in itself. There se us up front bending down ready to GO!
She went into the race feeling a bit under the weather, but she showed up anyway.
No excuses. No backing out. She laced up, took her place at the starting line, and powered through with grit and determination. That alone says everything about her character.
This was Tatum’s very first year on a running team, and to make it all the way to a state-level meet is nothing short of amazing. Watching her grow, challenge herself, and push through discomfort has been one of the greatest joys as a mom.
So incredibly proud of her heart, her perseverance, and her courage. This season wasn’t just about miles or times…it was about showing up, learning something new, and believing in herself. And she did all of that beautifully.
For SPRING sports, instead of track, she’s going for Basketball. Dad was so kind to get our hoop up and running again, so she has been at it non stop. Stay tuned for more SPORTS updates!
