Taper Madness and AWANA

When I was in third grade, (back in 1970?), my parents put me in AWANA Clubs.  This is a club that churches can run.  You play games, sing songs, memorize Scripture, earn awards, etc.  It’s a nice, wholesome club.

One of the staples for this club is the game circle.  All games, which usually involve running individually or as a team effort, center around the game circle.  Points are earned and the team with the most points wins.

Last night, I started having race dreams.  Last night in my dreams, I ran my 50 Mile race.  It. Was. Dreadful.  The entire 50 Mile race was run around that silly AWANA circle.

Around and around and around and around…all night long.  What a night!

Finally, after about the zillionth time around the circle, they declared that I had run 50 miles.  Myself and all the other runners.

We stopped running and they got ready to hand out the awards….just like they did when I was a kid back in 3rd grade.

First they handed out the overall winner award, then they started handing out the AG (Age Group) awards.  I came in 4th in my AG.  I was puzzled seeing as there were only two of us registered in my AG, but I woke up before I could find out why I came in 4th and the only other person in the AG got 1st.

Dreams are funny that way.
