Off and Running!!
This week we practiced moving for 30 minutes. The kids traveled about 2-miles doing different activities such as jogging, skipping, side-winding, walking backwards, side shuffling, etc. They all really hung in there and stuck with it, especially after 4th and 5th grade had their field days. We were very proud of them!
Next week we will simply be running/jogging/walking for the entire time as a way for them to practice their 5k distance. We know that everyone will be finishing at their own pace at the actual race, but we want them to have the endurance practice beforehand.
