Zack loves running, this year he decided he wanted to run track. We signed him up and then started the wait.... for the coach to call, for the season to start, would his friends be on the team.
We got the phone call.... His coach is Ty-ron and they will have 4 track meets and 2 practices a week. We showed up and found kind of a culture shock. We practice not in the best part of town, and we are the only white family there. It has been and adjustment getting used to the comments and re-action for the coach. Zack has had a lot of fun, and made some new friends. It has also given us a chance to give the talk "You don't always have to win, it is just important that you finish. Zack and his friend Brian are the fastest runners at their schoo, but the slowest on the team. We have also had to give the "gene" talk. That some people are born with that "gene" that makes them run fast, and don't really have to work at it.
At the track meets Zack runs the 60m, 100 m, 400m, 150, 200m and the 1600m relay.
