Sports Day!

Do you remember the old school sports days? Sun shining and fellow students and parents all gathered around chanting and cheering as you ran in the egg and spoon race, wheelbarrow race or a three legged run. Ha barefeet on the cool prickly fresh cut grass playing fields, going to school in your PE kit.

Yeah, I wasn't so keen on going barefoot myself, but we all did,
and I was glad to see all the barefoot boys.

@onewithshoes You were barefoot on the fields? Wow i am surprised.

@Ross19 Yeah, all PE was strictly barefoot for us.
It wasn't that bad as it was all really nice grass,
and part of what we did was swimming.

@onewithshoes Was the same for us too although outside for cross country and netball girls were allowed a choice of bare feet or trainers. Did you ever try and wear your shoes?

@Ross19 No. I never tried wearing shoes. No one did.
The only real challenge for bare feet was the cinder track. I couldn't ever cross it barefoot withough terrible ouchies. The boys who ran track seemed to manage it all right, but only 3 or 4 girls ever did track. I used to walk home with one of them and she had feet like leather, and was proud to let me touch them. She carried her shoes and walked home barefoot just like a boy. I must say I was totally awe srtricken, and I might have had a bit of a crush on her,馃槙 -- but I turned out straight.馃槈
