Back to the Beach

This story ends sometime in the summer with my mother and me wandering in different directions on the beach at Ward’s Island.
     It begins in September, probably Grade Seven, when gym class changed, and Mr. Mason had us running laps, whatever the season, practising for our timed run around the goal posts at opposite ends of the field.
     Then back to the beach, where I saw my mom in the distance and decided to show her what I could do, and so ran all the way . . . the first time I actually enjoyed it, but the last time I did it.

      Leslie, I can think of several different meanings here. What is your interpretation? Just curious.
