Jogathon

On Friday, May 25, Kyler's school had their very first jogathon for a fundraiser. Kyler contacted several relatives and asked for sponsors. The whole school, grades K-8, were participating. I wasn't sure how many laps he would do because he has never done this kind of thing before. 1 lap = ¼ mile and the kids had 1 hour to do as many laps as they could.


The day started off kind of shaky with Kyler having a bad attitude and complaining about being tired. But as soon as he connected with one of his friends and his mom, he did a good job. 

There he goes...

Cheering Kyler on!

He was a little hot and tired at the end!

Caden and I walked several laps and then stood on the sidelines to cheer Kyler on. He ended up running 11 laps – 2.75 miles! Considering how he started, I am so proud of how well he did. He ended up being in the top 15 kids who raised money. All in all it was a good day.
