Anyone familiar with this terrain, whether naturally or spiritually knows there is a valley down below. In that valley,…

Stay in your lane
Track practice. Track uniforms. Long (and I do mean long…) track meets. That’s our new life right now. For a bit I was unscathed by “sports mom” duty. Thankful for not having to drive to and fro. Or sit through my Saturday in hot sun, or frigid cold temperatures on a Tuesday night. Until I…
