We attended the Athletics Club presentation evening last night and to
our surprise the boy not only picked up his AAA grade II and grade IV badges
but also came away with the under-17 track performance of the year trophy (that
we had only returned a week previously), but none of these achievements will
make him reconsider his decision to quit the sport (at least temporarily) which
only goes to suggest his success so far has been a triumph of natural ability
over bone idleness; in an attempt to at least get him to do some exercise his
mother and I looked at a newly-opened gym and were sufficiently impressed to
sign up (him as well as us) in the hope that mutual encouragement and avoidance
of shame will prove incentive enough for regular attendance.
