Today we walked/ran the mileage track....
When the children start 1st grade at Zion they can do"mileage"
which is running/walking the loop around the cemetery.  7 loops = 1 mile
as the children complete miles they mark it on a card..... when they
fill up a card  21 loops=3 miles they turn it in for a "footie"
The children love to collect footies and add it to a chain/necklace.
It has been an excellent incentive to encourage exercise in the children :)

Sam wasn't sure at first about running but by the 2nd time  around
he was enjoying himself...... and hard for me to keep up with :)

after the 1st time around......

There goes Sam......
