Jogathon

Today the kid's school held a jogathon to raise money for the PTA and Arts programs at the school. Each child was supposed to get pledges/donations and then each grade ran as many laps as they could in a set amount of time. Lydia and I went to lend our support to our favorite athletes. It was really fun to watch the kids warm up, do their laps and then cool down. A local bakery supplied bread, fruit and water to the runners after their laps. Each of the kids got an award for participation and were entered into a drawing based on the number of laps they ran. It was a fun event and seemed to be well supported by the parents.

Off she goes. I never saw such a glamorous jogger. Like the outfit?

Proud of her award.

Stopping for a quick drink.

I am very proud of my super athletes and their dedication to their school. They did a great job and ran, ran, ran. Katie ran six laps and Jake ran eight. I saved them both the humiliation of running beside them. 9 months pregnant and running (plus it's me), not a good combo. I love my kids too much for that.
