Track

I recently learned about a weekly "track meet" that costs only $5 for the whole summer, and kids can run however many events they would like.  Mel has expressed interest in running, but not being a runner myself, I haven't been able to foster this interest.  We tried the track event out (sponsored by Runners Forum and held at Z'ville West Middle School) for the first time this week, and Melanie loved it.  She ran a 200m, 800m, 100m, and 400m.  It definitely helped that her friend Maddie was there, and she also found 3 classmates there.  She says she wants to keep doing it - so we'll see how she feels next week!
