I'm so excited about this year's kids marathon. It was our 3rd one and the biggest for sign ups. I was busy this week for the first year, with last minute sign ups. Parents that had been logging miles and realized this last week that they hadn't signed up. I had ordered 125 medals for the 125 that had signed up...thankfully Amy Hood, president of the PTA, suggested that I take a head count because we always have no shows and we did. I give her the credit for thinking of this approach. So we were able to have 133 sign up.
It was a fun day...parents and teachers all came out and ran the final mile of the marathon. Kids logged at home the previous 25 miles before today. I think it's a great way to get kids active and realizing too that they can set a goal, achieve it and enjoy it most importantly. Chloe said recently that she wanted to be a long distance runner and wants to run track next year. I'm excited to hear this. It's so easy, just a pair of shoes is all you really need. A GIANT SHOUT OUT and THANKS to the countless volunteers, teachers, coaches, parents and friends that helped support the kids marathon and made it a safe event for the kids. We couldn't do an event like this without everyone's participation, a million thanks!
We're excited to also give both our school districts back their entry fee as I raised money from businesses to buy the medals, tshirts and bibs. Thank you businesses:
