On Thursday Bud ran the 800m for the school's Junior Olympics. We were not going to be there Friday for the rest of the events so I was glad the event he was most interested in was being ran the day before. They ran by class and split boys and girls. Bud ran with 3 other boys.
They started out running too hard. N8 was able to come and watch. I asked if he had talked pacing with him before the race. He hadn't and next time he will!
By the 3rd lap the other 3 boys were tiring out and started walking, but Bud kept running and gaining a larger lead.
He won his heat and was 2nd overall for 5 grade. I believe this means he gets to go to the district level, which should be fun! We're super proud and love that he is beginning to find an interest in a sport (and the fact that it's running makes it even better!).
