With my running clothes on, I threw YaYa’s bike into the van and drove off to pick up BoBo at football practice. Usually by 6:30 pm, BoBo is standing in the pick-up circle waiting for me. Today, he was not there. I pulled into the front lot of the school; we got out, and walked to the weight room. There was nobody there so we walked to the back of the school where the football field and track are located. Football practice was still in full steam ahead.
Since there was no sign of football practice ending any time soon I figured that I would just do my run on the track instead. I invited YaYa to run around the track with me. As we ran, the practice continued on the infield. I could hear BoBo’s voice calling out, “Blue 42 – Blue 42…” I just focused on the run. I reminded myself to be “present”…not at work, not blogging, not anywhere else. Just focus…run in circles…and focus.
