Of course the boys didn't actually try to find any "donors" beforehand.
Oh well. We will conjure something up.
I didn't even turn in the permission slips for the boys to participate until this morning. It just kind of slipped my mind. It was due Wednesday apparently, and Tubbs was concerned.
Bubba of course said he didn't even want to walk it. He tried to tell us it was so he could conserve his energy for the track meet he signed up for. I don't know who he thought he was kidding, since that meet is almost 2 weeks away. The boy just doesn't like to move... unless its under his own conditions.
Of course, being the understanding and compassionate mother I am, I told his father he needed to tell Bubba he had to do it and there would be no sitting on the sidelines. :)
Tubbs, on the other hand, is always motivated to run and do his very best for the jog-a-thon each year.
This past week, over half his class was out sick with the flu--which meant the teacher told everyone they couldn't run it-- They had to walk. Since Tubbs wasn't out sick, I told her it was fine if he ran it. Tubbs was very excited because he didn't want to walk it for 20 minutes.
Wiggy and I dropped the boys near the office and then headed out to Tubbs' classroom after the bell rang. We helped put tally cards on each of the students, then we headed out to the track.
Tubbs' class ran around 9am. One lap around the track is 200 meters. Tubbs ran 15 or 16 laps in 20 minutes. Bubba on the other hand, walked 6 laps in 20 minutes. I think he did run the first and last 15 seconds, otherwise it was a slow mosey around the field. Big surprise Bubba.
