Flashback Friday (Part 65) - I Don't Run Unless I'm Being Chased

We grew up in a sports-minded family. Everyone played at least one sport from a young age and on weekends, football or college basketball was always on the television.

Although I remember more of what I did at my brother's wrestling matches and football games, there was a time when I did track and field.

From the ages of seven to nine and lived in this house.

I used to run then and not just away from my older brother who was trying to give me a swirly. If you don't know what that is, you're obviously an only child. You can find out what it is here.

Then I got taller and more focused lazy about which sports I liked to play and picked softball and volleyball because of the lack of running involved.

I found this picture three schoolmates and I before what was apparantly my first track meet of the season.

On the back I wrote,
"Molly, Debbie, Sharon, Janel / Sherwood High School 1985 / First track meet"

I remember running one race and my Mom said I could have ice cream at the end.

I never ran faster.

Now I only run if it's last call.

Now it's your turn.
