[quote=Anonymous]My 10 th grade high schooler is just starting out doing cross country and also wants to do track in winter and spring. He’s not amazing but improving and really enjoying it. He doesn’t wear contacts and despite my almost two years of my pushing it, refuses to. It kind of freaks him out.

So when I saw him at his cross country meet, he was running and his glasses were all askew because I’m sure he was sweating. They looked like they were going to fall off!-it was very obvious! I asked him afterwards if they were bothering him and he said not really.

I’m thinking with track, glasses would get in the way even more since your goal is to run as fast as you can. I have glasses and if I wear them when I’m sweating or hot, they are always sliding down my face and I hate it. 
He wants to try out for track and wants to improve and get better at cross country. The non-athletic part of me can’t help but think glasses are a distraction. This may be the motivation to get him to wear contacts but if I’m completely wrong, I’m not going to push it.

So, what say sports moms or dad or runners: glasses are not an impediment? [/quote]
