Braden's school sponsored a triathlon where students had to read 26 books, have 25 "miles" of exercise (this could include Karate, tee ball, etc.), and eat 26 healthy foods. The books and exercise were easy for Braden, but the healthy snacks were another story. I think 25 of the 26 snacks were bananas...the only real fruit he'll eat with little complaining. The last "mile" was going to be completed at school on Friday, May 13th. Parents were invited to watch, so Daddy took his lunch during that time and we headed up to the middle school track to watch Braden run his last mile. For as athletic as he is, a runner he is not! He finished the whole thing, but with less gusto than he normally does physical activity. It was also about 90 degrees, so there was that, but he still wasn't as energetic as anticipated! We cheered him on, and he was proud of himself for run/walking all 4 laps! Way to go Braden and the rest of the Kindergarten Goshen Gators!!
