Sydney runs the mile!

As part of the Field Day activities held at the end of the school year, children can participate in the mile run around the lower field at the school. Sydney ran last year and wanted to run again this year.

So... in the weeks leading up to the grand event, Laura could be found running around the block with some of the girls in the morning before school in an effort to really improve their conditioning! :)

Race day came and we took the whole family over to the school to watch her run...she did such a good job and she finished her mile run in 9 minutes 3 seconds.

The cool thing is that all of the children that are not running gather around the fence to cheer the runners on...it was very loud and lots of enegry in the crowd...just a really neat experience.
