Fit and Fun Run

Matthew's school had the Fit and Fun Run today.  It's a little fundraiser the school does to raise money for PTA and the "specials" programs at school (Art, Music, PE, Spanish and Computers).  Matthew was very excited to participate.  Here he is during the run.

 

Here they are getting ready to start.  The teacher in the blue shirt is the PE teacher who was running the show.  He did a great job!

Only three classes were running at a time.  The kindergarteners were the last to start.  Matthew is in the grey Batman shirt.  Go Matthew!  His PE teacher and kindergarten teacher are on the left in blue and black respectively.

 Here he is during the race.  Such great form!

 And running so fast!

 Here he is getting his laps marked off on his back.

 Extra points if you can spot him here.

Here he is coming in after another lap.  Each lap was probably somewhere between 1/8 and 1/4 mile...probably closer to 1/8.  I don't know for sure but that's my guess from my years of running track. ;)

I love running so I was excited for him too.  I wish I had dressed up to run with him like some of the other parents did.  I didn't know we were allowed to do that and came with the two little boys in tow and wearing jeans and flip flops...maybe next year.

And here is Matthew after the race was over getting his laps tallied up.  They ran for about 30 minutes and he did 12 laps.  Good job Matthew!
