Jog-a-thon Fund Raiser

Today was the Jog-a-thon fund raiser for Granite Elementary. So, Savannah, Dylan and I went to cheer Zach on. Before school Zach was running around the house - He said, "I have to practice for the Jog-a-thon."

The PTA did a great job of putting it together. To start off they had a warm-up. Then to start the jog-a-thon they had a big START sign for the kids to run through. They didn't know quite what to do and kept running around the sign.

If you know Zach, he ALWAYS has to be FIRST. He started in the middle of the pack but by the first lap he was one of the first kids. Zach had a great time. When Zach is running he likes to pretend he is Lightning McQueen - so every time Zach would pass us he would leap into the air and wink at us. It took me second to figure out why he was doing that - in the movie CARS while Lightning McQueen is racing, he leaps in the air and winks at the audience.

Savannah and I tried to run a lap but Zach just took off. He ended up lapping us. He sure is a fast runner. I think he will be a track star in High School. I don't know where Zach and Savannah get all their energy - they must suck it out of me because I have NO energy at all. Zach and Savannah ran the entire time (20 mins). Zach was totally sweatty and his face was bright red when the race was finished.

Later today when we went to pick Zach up from school Savannah said, "Let's go run laps again!" Maybe we will have to do that each night to waste some of her energy and get her to go to bed at a decent hour.
