Cross Country

Katie & Megan ran for Holy Family's cross country team last fall.  It was a great experience for both of them!  They got to run with their best friends, they learned a lot about running, they got in terrific shape for soccer, and they had fun!

Meet in Grosse Pointe, right on Lake St. Clair:

This shot is far away, but you can see the park is on a peninsula jutting out into the lake.  It was beautiful, if cold and cloudy and windy.
