This week, I will be watching Ranchhand 3 run in his district cross country meet. His season started with hopes of qualifying for state as a team and potentially placing high enough to make it as an individual (in case the team didn’t qualify). Unfortunately, he has reaggravated a back injury he suffered as a freshman. He can still run but his performance has suffered quite a bit because he can’t run every day and stay in shape. We’ll see how it goes, but my main hope is he doesn’t hurt himself even more.
The store in the article below is in Ainsworth, which happens to be where my son’s district meet will be run. Maybe I’ll stop in and browse the store. I have to admit that I didn’t even know it was there but after reading about it, I’m excited to see what is there.
