Jog-A-Thon

Today Karisa participated in the Jog-A-Thon at school. Each student had 30 minutes to run as many laps as possible (for her age group, 7 laps roughly was equivalent to a mile).

She was all smiles as she finished her first lap.

Still smiling and running at this point.

After a couple laps, the smile and excitement seemed to start fading away.

By about the halfway point, the cheeks were red and the smile was gone!

What fun to watch as Karisa kept working really hard despite being tired. She and her good friend gave each other a little support towards the end by holding hands and running together.

This was how she looked after her 8th and final lap. It really was fun to watch her run and to see her persevere despite her obvious physical exhaustion! She did a great job for 5 1/2 years old!
