FUN RUN AWESOME-NESS!

Maggie participated in her school's Fun Run this morning to help raise funds to support technology in their ever deteriorating school.  Each child was to gather sponsors who could donate per lap or a flat fee and then the child had 30 minutes to complete as many laps as they could. The laps are 1/4 mile at the Junior High (located next door).  She did amazing!!!
 Look at the stride on that girl!  She really knew how to book it, but then she'd sputter out to a walk.  She is  a great sprinter, struggles with pacing.  It was funny to watch her see the other kids start to catch up again and off she'd go sprinting her hardest to stay ahead.
 Here she is with one of her little friends.  Maggie insisted on running with her super runner cape...well, at least for half of it.
Our little champion 1st grader completed 9 laps ( 2.25 miles) in 30 minutes!!  Why yes, I am a proud Momma.
