| A classic track t-shirt |
For the past twenty years, I have marked spring’s arrival
with one event. It is not the calendar date of the spring equinox. It is not
the first day the thermometer reads above 40 degrees. It is not even the day
that the last pile of dirty, brown, snow-ice-slush finally melts from the
corner of my driveway. Since I was in seventh-grade in 1994, I have marked
every spring’s arrival with the first track practice of the year.
Track season, like its spring placement, is a season of
rebirth and growth. It is a season where we shake off the long miles of
winter’s doldrums and adjust our eyes to again soak in natural light. Track is
a season of camaraderie, challenge, and t-shirts!
