4th Grade Fun Run

Max and the rest of the district's 4th graders participated in the "4th Grade Fun Run" on September 25th. One of the local businesses (a running shoe and apparel store) sponsors the run at a local park. As you can see by the pictures it was a very chilly, cloudy day but the kids really were up for it. Each child had an electronic timing device attached to their ankle and was assigned a number. As soon as they crossed the finish line their time was recorded. Max did a great job running the 1 mile. I expected him to walk a lot of it but he didn't and finished in around 14 minutes. Way to go, Max.

Here is Max taking time out of his start to wave to me and Reilly.

I bundled Reilly up against the cold with a blanket I found in the back end of the Tahoe. But this was not the right stroller to be pushing through the grass after we had to park out in the "north 40". It was a bit of a hike to get to the Start/Finish line.

Here are Max and the rest of the State Road 4th graders listening to their gym teacher, Mr. Graf (far left, blue hoody) give them instructions. Obviously Max was doing some great listening..... NOT!
