Jog-A-Thon

Connor's school had a jog-a-thon to raise money. We had no idea how far he could run, but he was sure excited to start! The excitement builds as he waits with his class.

 And they are off!! Connor's running style was to sprint as far as possible (the first lap+) then keel over trying to catch his breath, then begin to sprint again (about another lap, etc.). I tried to suggest that he work on pacing himself, but he wasn't interested. Apparently it is better just to be the fastest when you are 5.

 Parents were encouraged to run a few laps with the kids, so we all did some running. However, with the sprint/rest routine I must say I had a hard time keeping up with him.

In the end, Connor basically sprinted 6 full laps (1.5 miles)!! The Kindergartners get to count a lap for each half lap, so that's 12 "laps" for Connor. His dad & Uncle Troy pledged $ per lap. Time to pay up suckers!!!
