In connection to the Health and Safety Fair they did a new thing this year called the Mile By Mile Marathon. They gave the kids a little card to keep track of their activities each day. 30 minutes of activity would equal a mile. They did this for 25 days and then on day 26 they would run the last 1.2 miles of the "marathon." Darryl and I ran it with the boys. It wasn't much of a run though. It felt more like a cattle drive. We started at the hospital and then jogged to the highway then they stopped us and had us wait for a while then we ran to the Hub parking lot. They waited for us to get regrouped and then they let us jog the rest of the way to the police station, but we had to stay on the sidewalk--or where there should be a sidewalk. I was worried the boys wouldn't feel like it was a big deal but at the finish they handed them a medal and it make the boys feel like Olympians. They were so proud--all I could ask for. We stayed and did a few of the activities(including face painting as you can see in the picture). Kade had a shark painted on his face and Clint asked to be Spider Man. We love the Health and Safety Fair.
