I am so proud of you! I told you that first year you ran track with P-town, you would make it to the Olympics one day and don't forget about us and you haven't every time you run, you give VA props. I didn't get a chance to tell you at the rec center today...Good luck, Real Deal is so proud of you and all the kids look up to you. You are a wonderful role model! While the kids are representing Real Deal in Detroit for the J.O. you represent VA in the Olympics. p.s. my baby didn't get a bag
