FUN RUN?

There was what they call a FUN RUN at Haley's school.

My question is, "Is there really such thing as a FUN RUN?"

Anyhow, the run was meant to gain donations for the school.

They use the donations for classroom activities, supplies, and

field trips, etc. At first I didn't think Haley wanted to do it

because usually when she has to run in soccer she mopes around

the field like she is going to die. So I thought, "Fifteen minutes

of running really wasn't her idea of FUN!" I hadn't signed her

up to do it and about two days before the run she said, "Mom,

I don't want to sit on the side lines and be bored just cheering

the other kids on. I want to run." I was really suprised by this

and said it was fine with me and signed her up to run. I made

her call and get donations and everything. She did a good job.

She was so proud on the morning of the fun run becuase she

wanted to get as much money as she could by running as many

laps as she could. Each grade level had about fifteen minutes

to run as many laps as they could. Before Haley ran, her teacher

got out there and made them stretch and get warmed up. It was

so cute to watch. Her teacher is so awesome.

She ran the entire fifteen minutes and made sixteen laps.

Most of the donations she got were for $1 a lap. She

was so excited that everyone had to pay her $16 for all the laps

she ran. I was really proud of her for running so well. She didn't

even complain or look tired either. She just kept on truckin' and

got as many laps as she could get on her little legs. Good job

Haley girl. We love you and are really proud of you for working

so hard for the benefit of your school.
