Running Club

Our school district (Chandler) has a fun thing for the elementary kids called Running Club. They run around the field after school 2 days a week and see how many laps they can get. With every quarter of a mile lap, they get a tally mark on their hands in marker, which is a source of much pride after each practice, as they each run around showing each other how many laps they did. They have 3 races late January-February with about 5 schools together (it isn't very cold here in the afternoons that time of year). Shayne had his last Running Club race 2 weeks ago. (I'm a little behind on blog posts-no more parenthesis, I promise!) He had a lot of fun running with many of his friends during the Running Club season and plans to be part of it again next year. We had over 100 kids participate in our school of about 490.
