The man in the yellow shorts

Cross Country meet at West Orange HS
Yesterday was his first attempt to run 3.1 miles without stopping.

 

The man in the yellow shorts (about five or six runners from the right) was last. The man in lime shorts was 12th. They are teammates.

If there was a gold medal for heart and perseverance, both would need one.

In fact, most of the runners are dedicated beyond logic.

It’s cool to witness.

Defining moments may or may not have an expiration date

Windermere Prep 2016 football game
Remember how hot yesterday afternoon’s football game was? You’ll be soaked in sweat by 8:30am today.

 

Defining moments may or may not have an expiration date. With that in mind, enjoy this morning’s first ever 5k run.

Two firsts:

  1. Running three miles.
  2. First competitive run.

Stay healthy, have fun.

The surreality of the gym

Cross Country is a real sport.

 

The surreality of the gym last night blindsided me. It was you’re first team practice in the weight room. Dude, last night was a big deal. Congratulations.

You really looked like a runner

Runner silhouetted by sunrise
Just a few hours ago.

 

Doing 100-meter striders on the curves, i noticed something that was remarkable.

So when we finished and were walking i was so happy to tell him, “For the first time, you really looked like a runner.”

Dear son, here’s to hoping you always remember that moment.

He’d rather run on Saturday nights.

Works for me.
