On the beautiful afternoon of April 12 I watched the Young Relative compete in his track meet at Patton Middle School. Though I enjoy cheering him on, it's also a pleasure to see all these healthy young people outside exercising and competing and -- for the most part -- enjoying themselves.
We hear a lot about obesity in teens and even younger kids and the pressure it's going to put on our already beleaguered healthcare system in the not-too-distant future in terms of diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Let's hope these youths stay active and involved in sports.
Oh, and did I mention that the Young Relative set two personal bests that afternoon?
