New experiences … outdoor track meets.
Tin participated in the winter indoor track, to keep in shape since his soccer team wasn’t playing much last year. Turned out that many of the athletes were also filling in the time by running.
Well, it turned out that Tin liked running. He was fast, and could hold his own. And of course, there was the challenge of catching that other runner ahead of him.
Our first outdoor meet turned out nice, weather-wise. A little breezy, but the sun was out, and it was warm.
High-tech running shoes … See that dial on the sides? That’s to tighten the wire-thin ‘laces’. They looked more like strips of nylon thread. Dial right to tighten the laces; pull it out to ‘undo’ the laces. High-tech indeed.
The next day, he had a soccer game. Again, warm weather. Dare we hope that spring is really staying?
And of course, after the game, the boys were hungry. And while walking on the sidewalk, they came upon a vendor selling icees and fresh mango – so they got two bags of pickled mango.
Yes … spring and summer are here …
A little bit of this and that ...
