I went to Lauren’s school this morning for her annual jog-a-thon fund raiser. Took so many photos… they’re all uploading while I’m writing this.
The kids come out to the field with all others in their class and jog, walk, trot… some even all out sprint around this track that’s about 1/4 the distance of a normal track. They all start out with a “warm up” lap of walking. Then it’s every kid for themself.
5 laps down, they’re all running… 10 laps down, some walking but most are still running… 15 laps down, more than half have given up running for the slower (and much easier on the legs) version of transportation known as ‘strolling’. But, there are some that won’t give up. Lauren was running just about all the way through. From what I saw, she maybe walked about a total of 5 laps.
Afterwards, they all got a much deserved popsicle for the hard work that was done so early in the morning.
