Calvin Runs

I’ve always loved Calvin’s attitude towards running. When he was in elementary school I took him to a pint-sized track meet.  On the way there he announced that he was planning to win all his races.  I worried his optimism might not be his reality and he would begin to dislike running.  After the meet was done and he didn’t win any of his races and I asked him how he felt, “Great!  I didn’t come in last in any of my races!”

He’s a good sport in all his races and enjoys the doing, even if it doesn’t mean winning.  Below is another meet he participated in a couple of years later.  He had a great time running, hanging with friends and being apart of the teams.


Calvin ran in the Park and Rec races and enjoyed his time

David!


David’s indoor soccer team—the Hobos.  Even though they lost every regular season game, they won two games by forfeit in the semi-finals, and then the second ranked team did not show up, sending them to the championship game where they fought hard to become the first losers.


Happy birthday!
