jog-a-thon

Thomas' jog-a-thon at school was this morning.  He asked his daddy to come so I missed it this year since we also needed to take Meredith to preschool around the same time.  All the first graders ran at 8:30am when it was still overcast.  I heard from another mom whose daughter ran later in the morning when the sun came out that it was really warm for them.  Still, they had the music blaring, spray bottles filled with water, bottled waters for the kids and a special treat after their run.  The jog-a-thon is a fundraiser for the school's PTA.  They ask for donations based on how many laps your child runs in 20 minutes.  We sponsored Thomas' efforts with a pledge of $2 per lap.  Good thing he didn't run the 1,000 laps he told us he was going to run, but ran his lucky number 13 instead.
