Pflugerville Meet | 9.14.12

Early this morning I made the one hour drive to Pflugerville, Texas to cheer on Madison during the Pflugerville cross country meet.   If nothing has ever shown Madi the depths of my love for her – this certainly should!   I am really uncomfortable driving in or around cities and I have zero sense of direction.  So, for me to drive to Pflugerville, in the dark, alone, near the city of Austin and all of its horrible traffic, without a GPS {thanks to the person who stole it from my husband’s bag at the airport a few weeks ago! }, in the torrential rain, is huge!   HUGE!   But, I was determined to see her run and determined for her to hear at least one voice in the crowd cheering for her! 

Since it’s been raining pretty much non-stop for 24 hours around here, the course, which was a muddy mess, was shorted to 2 miles.  It rained the whole time the XC teams were there. It didn’t seem to faze the runners much, but I had a hard time dealing with it because it was nearly impossible to hold an umbrella and take pictures at the same time!  So anyway, here are a few picture of our girl taken earlier this morning during her 4th High School XC meet of the season!

This one’s a little out of focus thanks to the whole umbrella holding fiasco.





Yep, it’s your crazy ol’ Momma over here; trying to hold the umbrella, take pictures and cheer for you at the same time! Aren't you the lucky one?!

Sprinting at the end!  That’s our girl!   

You can’t really see her, but Madi crossed the finish with a time of 16:08 – which is a whole minute and 41 seconds faster than her last 2 mile time!!

Madi just continues to amaze us!  Her hard work is paying off every week during these meets and I'm just so glad I get the chance to see it!  Madi, you make this Momma so proud and you are so very worth the hour long anxiety filled drive! ;)
