It's make your mama proud time and my boys did just that! The school jog-a-thon is a huge event with loads of volunteers, an MC, snacks, refreshments, cooling stations, rewards, a BBQ lunch, etc. All that means it's really fun. There are 2 tracks set up, a larger one, which really isn't even 1/4 mile and a smaller one which is like an obstacle course for the pre-k kids. The different grade levels run in groups, fortunately Noah and Julian ran at the same time this year (not so much next year). They start with silly warm ups and are sent to a specified location around the track….the MC shouts "GO" and all hell breaks loose! It's kids running every which direction, hurdling each other, bumping in to one another…all while music is blasting in the background. It's like a crazy wedding singer playlist but the kids love it. Noah would stop by the pre-k track to peek at Julian's progress and say hi…or just to high five me as he ran by. Julian dominated his little obstacle course showing that he was definitely ready for the big track! He even got a chance to run with the big kids towards the end of the alotted 1.5 hours and sprinted 4 laps out on the big track! Color me impressed! Noah and Julian both did so great, I am very proud of their jog-a-thon achievements!
Total laps:
Noah - 26
Julian - 19
