Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt, May 3rd
This week's theme is Time. I think the most significant keeping of time happened last July in Waco. B ran the mile, and her time was better than any other time she ran before.
And it was hard. Look at this girl! She was 8 when she ran it.
She said then, and even this spring, that she would never run the mile again. But she is one of about 10 who ran without stopping for 9 minutes in P.E. at school. Her P.E. coach is one of the coaches for summer track, too. I think I'm going to shoot him an e-mail about encouraging her to run the mile again this summer---or at least do the 800! Speed is not her thing, but she has great endurance! ;-)

She doesn't take after me in this respect---but her Aunt R. has run a marathon.

Our middle schoolers did their mile run yesterday. The time is not crucial to the endeavor, but the doing of it, and all participate. (It also gets them out of class all morning.)

Congratulations! That's a great achievement. It must take a lot of good training to do well in that running event.

Wow, that's amazing. I can't even run to the mailbox anymore!
I'm enjoying all the different ideas people have for the Photo Hunters theme. I did the Photo Hunt, too! :)

Yes, it surely looked like hard work. She is so cute. Maybe she will want to run again next time!

Kudos to your little girl for such endurance. She set a goal and then put her mind and heart into achieving it regardless of the time it would take. I always admire discipline and patience in people.
Great and original take for this week's theme. Thanks for the visit. :)
