Jog a thon

The girls had their school jog a thon today. They had a blast. Cara is a good little runner, but after 20 laps she just walked slow for the next 7! (Each lap was 1/8 a mile so she did more than 3 miles)

Ryann on the other hand is having growing pains in her legs and has been "practicing" a lot for the jog a thon so get muscles were a little sore. She did 23 laps I think but she walked then ran then jogged then walked etc.

Both girls just proved to me that they will be able to do the 5k we signed up for in December. But we will continue to practice/ train of course.

After they ran they got popsicles. Jab was pretty upset when his popsicle fell to the ground.

Fun Run

Thank you for all who sponsored Ryann with her Fun Run! Her school is trying to earn money to have a new shade structure put up at her school so they can play outside even when it is scorching hot!

 Thankfully Rich was able to go to the fun run. He said Ryann did awesome and we were so proud of her for running like she did. 

 She loved to give high fives and she waved at her daddy every time she passed by him. Smiles the entire time. 

 Her shirt shows that she did all 36 laps. Rich says she snuck in one extra lap for a total of 37!

 Way to go Ryann!

Letter from Ryann

When Ryann got home on Monday afternoon she wrote a letter to Rich and gave it to him while he was in his office working. I think we figured out what it said...

 "Dad
I have
to fun run
tomorrow"



 And I
have some
rules
and
they
are

 1. you have to eat and drink
2. I tell us to go to the fun run tomorrow for Ryann

Basically this girl is trying so hard to learn how to write and it just melts my heart. I love her!
