Gavin's Jog-A-Thon

Today was Gavin's Jog-a-thon for his school. He was excited, but not sure what to expect. Both of the kindergarten classes got out there and ran their little legs off in the rain. The kids had 30 minutes to run as many laps as they could. Each lap was 1/8 mile. I was so proud of Gavin. He ran 19 laps. I think the highest number in his class was 22 laps and there was one child in the other class that ran 24 laps.

Here is Gavin coming around towards the parents. This is about lap 10.

Gavin started off with a thick jacket on, but quickly switched to his hoodie. His friend Billy (in red) is running right behind him.

This is when he told me he was getting too hot and didn't think he could keep running. He had only run 5 laps.

Here are Gavin and Chloe at the end of the run. Gavin was so proud of himself and very surprised at how many laps he had run. Chloe helped keep track of how many laps Gavin ran. She kept asking who was winning. Gavin was kind enough to share a few licks of his Popsicle with Chloe. Chloe is already making plans for her Jog-a-thon next year.

Here is Gavin's Kindergarten class after the race. Thank you to all who sponsored Gavin. He had a lot of fun.
