Jog-a-thon

Today was the Jog-a-thon fundraiser at Jackie's school. It's one of the PTA's annual events. Helps to promote fitness of course. But also the kids can fundraise by getting pledges for the laps they run. 

Jackie had 20 minutes to run. The track is .22 miles. She completed 7 laps.  She raised at least $35 which will help her class earn an ice cream party. 

She likes to take off running hard and fast and wears herself out. But with those long legs she can cover a lot of ground. 

Daddy was there early in the morning helping to set up for the event and stayed to cheer her on.  I marked sticks as the kids completed each lap with a fellow K3 mom. We marked for all races K-5th grade. We were feeling a little silly by the time we were done.
