Olympic Run

On Thanksgiving I'm planning on jogging in a 5k. The last time I moved as a part of a race it didn't go so well for me.  I was in the third grade. It was for the Boy Scouts, and it was the annual Boy Scout Olympics. I was living in Germany and the BS Olympics were held in Munich. The Olympic stadium in Munich is famous for the terrorist attack during the 1972 Summer Olympics.  Oh, and just to clarify, for this blog BS stands for Boy Scouts. 

For some reason I didn't get the memo that we didn't have to wear our BS uniforms during the BS Olympics. It doesn't makes sense to me now, but as a third grader I guess it made sense to wear the official uniform. I entered many events, including a relay race. I don't remember the distance that we ran. The only thing I remember, is that when it was my turn to run, my BS pants kept falling down. During the race I had to keep hoisting them up the entire run.  It must have been pretty noticeable because I remember people laughing. I also remember hearing about it when I went back to school. I'm hoping that this Thanksgiving 5k turns out better than the BS run. I'm thinking I'll wear suspenders just in case. I'll keep you posted.
