Gaining Endurance


My daughter is participating in cross country at her school this fall and she has been gaining endurance throughout the season.  Every meet she sees improvement in her running time.  I am so proud of her and the strength and determination she exhibits at only 9 years old.  I think we could all learn from a child's determination and a spirit to keep on going!  Even last night she came home and really wants to run for student council.  After homework, she made little buttons out of construction paper she is going to hand out at school today.  They say, Got Kaylee?  She is supposed to give a speech to her class today about why they should choose her.  She didn't have much time to prepare, but came up with a little speech.  I understand many students in her class are running, so I am not sure what her chances are, but know this is a great experience for her and she is so excited about participating.  There are so many times in life we seem to not stick our heads out there or go for what we want in fear we are not good enough.  How about you?  Is there something you have always wanted to try, but just too afraid of failure?
