I have NEVER seen Kenna so motivated to complete something - it has been inspiring to watch and made me quite the proud mamma! The PTO at Crocker came up with a program called crocker cruisers. The kids have the option to run during their lunches on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Parents volunteer to track the mileage of each of the kids and they get a punch for every half mile. After every card is full they get a charm for their keychain.
McKenna would make sure she got enough sleep the night before, ate a good breakfast and would plan her day around making sure she was prepared to run at lunch. She would even force herself not to get sick for fear of missing a day of running. It was really great to witness! She made it over 14 miles in just a few weeks of lunches. The hope is to complete a full marathon when the program picks back up in the spring! Just love this!
