Mini Mustang Marathon
Greetings to all.
It's that time of the year. School is in full swing and your nephews and grandsons are calling to ask for sponsorship for their schools.
One of the fund raisers Addenbrooke has is the annual Mini Mustang Marathon. A track is set up and the students race, run and walk as many laps as they can in an allotted time. The first grade class had thirty minutes to run.
Why Mustang Marathon? Addenbrooke's mascot is a mustang. So running laps seems a natural event. The marathon is hosted and managed by the PTSA group, which is quite active within Addenbrooke. Next year we hope to run the marathon on the new soccer field the PTSA has raised the money for and moved to the construction phase.
This year, Xavier completed eighteen laps, which we estimate to be about a mile and a quarter. He did not run the whole time as he did last year, but still he broke a good sweat.
Rebecca went a few laps around with Xavier, as did Dad. We also stretched out our hands for Xavier to high-five as he passed the spots where we stood watching.
