Well, tonight was my son's first track meet. There were pluses and minuses to his performance. He forgot his ankle braces so you could tell he was in pain, though he said it was more in his chest muscles than his ankles. He improved his best time by a couple of minutes, that's the plus. The minus was that he was still in very last place; by a whole lap. He most definitely needs more practice and to improve his endurance. We are hoping that this will be the motivation he needs to put more time into his training, but my son has a tendency to give up if it is too hard. He has such a tendency to give up, we are proud that he hung in there to the finish. His next meet is in two weeks. Hopefully he will take training more serious and will be much improved.
On another note, getting out of the house today really lifted my spirits. Maybe I'm not so much depressed as just suffering from cabin fever. The hubby and I ate out after the meet. We had chinese buffet even after SuccessThisTime58 post about how bad buffets are. We were in a different town so we hoped that it would be better than we can get here at home. The food was pretty good, but my husband's meal was ruined when he realized his cup was dirty. Really starting to think buffets just aren't worth it. Since we ate out I decided cheat day started with dinner and will run through lunch tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good weekend and a happy journey.

My son did cross country as a way to build up endurance for soccer. He was always at the back of the pack, but proud of himself for finishing , and did better each time. I kept stressing that it was not about winning, but about being part of a team and working hard to improve himself. He agreed and wants to do it again next year. Keep praising your son for his efforts, he'll get better each time.
You are right, buffets are not worth it. Enjoy your cheat day and your weekend. Get out again and do something fun.

Totally agree with BL...its more about the experience of being
on the team than actual results...also don't "beat yourself up" about the buffet...
all of our experiences can be learning experiences. And had I been there
with y'all, I would have probably said "let's try this"...hope you have a
very healthy weekend, Buddy !!!!
