The past two days the elementary school kids have been running a mile with their PE class. Today was Cambree's turn. The PE teacher sent home a note that says if you would like to come and support and cheer on your student, that would be great. So, we bundled up and braved the hurricane winds that we are having and went to watch.
It was a great lesson to be there for. The teacher said that life was like running a mile. Sometimes things will get hard in life and rather than giving up, you just grit your teeth and push on through. (She gave ideas of ways to make running more bearable...) After watching Cambree run four times around the track and losing a little steam at the end, Brinlee ran with her and I at one point also jogged along side her. (Scary thought right?)
All in all, it was a lesson that made me think and even though I didn't think they would REALLY make 1st graders run the ENTIRE mile, I am glad that they did it and I hope they learned something today too!
