It has turned out to be a God send for us. R's not into the "social" stuff (dances, etc) so much....yet. ;) <br /><br />And yes...he did win two of his races! *feeling proud* OMG...wasn't that the funniest thing when he kept running and running and running??? LOL! <br />@dkotuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395598913393994830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917641406625510012.post-10477397862804979872015-06-22T11:32:59.004-07:002015-06-22T11:32:59.004-07:00As you know...I never know how "new" thi...As you know...I never know how "new" things are going to turn out. Things could go sideways in the blink of an eye. :) I was SO happy and proud of him and how he managed throughout the loooong day. <br /><br />Hmmmmm.....maybe he could work towards a decathlon?!?!? After all...he's halfway there.

And did I see him win two of the races? :D (have to admit, his continuing to run after crossing the finish line is my favorite part - hah!) I'm going to look into special Olympics here. Thanks for posting this. ❤️ Great job Riley!!Tammyhttp://autismmakesmelaugh.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917641406625510012.post-77371161511167749322015-06-14T17:37:00.393-07:002015-06-14T17:37:00.393-07:00Those videos got me a little teary, and I haven...Those videos got me a little teary, and I haven't even "known" R all that long. Track was my sport. It will always have a place in my heart, and this makes that space a little bit bigger. <br />And I must add, in my 9 years of running track competitively, I never participated in more than four events. And most people were exhausted and cranky by the end of a meet that didn't last 6 hours. I could jot be more impressed.
