Then it changed in to something else as though he were proud of her speed. He wrote something down on his board then yelled her name just as she was turning away from him. She looked at him to see him writing something on his notepad, grinning from ear to ear.

“Too bad! You made it anyways!”
I hooted, throwing my arms in the air and doing some kind of victory dance, my hips twisting crazily.
I watched as he walked away. My laughter contagious to the other runners as they finished their own laps.
