Forrest Fun Run

Connor's school had a Boosterthon Fun Run last week. Honestly, I thought it was a terrible idea to have 3 year olds running laps in a parking lot. Parents were invited to attend, but it was cold that day and Cora was already fighting a little congestion so I sent Colin. Running is his thing, anyway. Connor loved it. Colin loved it. I loved staying home and getting these cute pics.








So, Connor ran 35 laps (the maximum allowed). Actually, I think he ran 33, someone mentioned he must be tired and he walked the last 2. Otherwise I dont think it would have occured to him that he was tired. He just ran, and ran, and ran. Other kids stopped to get the laps marked off on the shirt but he kept running, and running. Other kids stopped to get water, he kept running (no doubt Colin's kid). In high school Colin took his dog to the track to run and the poor dog kept up with Colin and ran his paws off, literally . Connor did pause about lap 15 to take a drink -only because Colin insisted. He wasnt the fastest, but he had a steady pace and enjoyed it. Again, obviously related to Colin. No way I would have run 2 miles at 3 (or 33) - ok maybe but I wouldnt have liked it.
