Surely in my exhaustion I had miscounted a lap somewhere along the way. I fought back dreams of track scholarships and Olympic medals as I caught up with Halley to break the news.

Nine-year-old Halley had one las chance to earn her National Physical Fitness Award. For thirty-six weeks she had worked toward this award through our home school PE club.
