How many other lucky Villagers have to go sit and watch those long, long track meets? Chris is running track again this year. Last night I actually worked the track meet instead of sit in the bleachers. It is more exciting to work it. So if you get the chance to volunteer, I would.
Chris runs the 2400 meter (1 mile and a 1/2) and the 1600 meter (1 mile). He came in 4th in the 2400 meter and 3rd in the 1600 meter. I thought he did well with the schools they were up against. There was one boy from another school that they might as well handed 1st place to in every event he ran because there was no way anyone could keep up with him! He was good!
My feet and back do hurt though from standing out there all night, but I enjoyed being down on the track with the kids. I also got a free t-shirt and meal. I really just like being on the field after the race to give my son a hug.
