Track Season

My oldest son decided to run track while in middle school. He is named after my late brother, who was also a track runner. So to hear that my son was going to run track, it did something to me on the inside. So every meet was nostalgic. It was like I was at my late brother’s meets, I get teary-eyed when I cheer for my son. When he got into high school, the level of emotion skyrocketed.

Every race, my son was aiming to set a new pr for himself, and he did. The medals began to roll in. He made it to what would be the “semi-finals,” which was his goal, and although he didn’t make it to the finals, he still did his best.

So, every track season, whether it’s indoor or outdoor, I get excited because he found something that excites him, and that excites me.

Although I’m a self-published author with a book coming out, it’s truly the track seasons that get me excited.
