It was time once again for the annual Terry Fox run!! I headed out to the school not knowing what the track was going to be like. The only daughter of mine I found before the race started was Paige. So Paige and I headed out with James (yes those are the runners in the background, we were bringing up the rear).
The track started out as this nice gravelly road, a little bumpy but doable. Then the track took a turn into the grass/rocks/roots. So we started 4X4ing thru the track. It was a major workout..but so fun and such a beautiful day! We have had such a beautiful indian summer this week and the leaves are stunning! It was so neat to see all the kids working so hard on the run this year. I especially loved all the signs of hope and encouragement along the way! My mind turned to Terry Fox constantly thru out the run and the courage and hope he had. I cant believe he ran a marathon a day!! I also thought of my dear friend Christy ((hugs)) the race definately had more meaning to me this year!
After the race, the classes participated in the tug-of- war. This was a cute event and the girls LOVED it and each of them won for their class! I have no pictures of the other girls..because by the time I found them...my camera was out of batteries (whoops).
James was a trooper thru the event! He loved the 4X4ing and never complained about the rough ride. He especially LOVED all the attention. He was constantly surrounded by admirers. Then we got in the car and he just tipped over from exhaustion. It was a fun event!!
