Track meet

James had his first track meet at Prairie yesterday.
He was signed up to run in the mile race with about a million other kids.
On your marks... 
Get set... 
GO! 
James took off running... 
and looked really strong... 
as he headed down the track... 
and around the corner. 
 As the runners passed by me for the second time...
I could see that James was beginning to have some trouble.
He's been battling a cold for several days, and he's reached the coughing stage.  Poor kid.  It's hard to run a mile when you can't breathe!
He ended up finishing the race at a walk. 
Oh well.  At least he had lots of walking company!

You'll do better when you're well. Nice form, though.
