Patrick is on his way to Tokyo at the moment. We sent him off with a blessing and good wishes for his first sports trip. To him, it's no big deal. But to me, so soon after Tommy's departure, it's another reminder of how quickly my children are growing.
The cross country team left on the bus around 9:45 or so tonight (Thursday). They will drive all night and arrive in the morning, have a practice run tomorrow morning, lunch and study time in the afternoon. Saturday is the first meet of the season at Tama Hills Recreation Area near Tokyo. Saturday evening, they return on the bus, hopefully arriving around midnight. This is the routine we will follow for the next six weeks or so as the cross country season continues. We are all looking forward to the weekend when the other teams come to Misawa. Then we'll get to cheer the Eagles on in person.
Patrick's times have been improving, and he is hoping to be an asset to the team on Saturday. It's his first meet, though, so he is understandably cautious about it all.
Please keep him in your prayers for a safe and successful meet and trip.
