"Fun" run?


When I was a teenager, my cousin Deb and I were both into Jr. High sports, and developed a bit of a friendly rivalry. Now, E1 and Deb's daughter T.H. have a similar rivalry with their High School sports. I know that E3 has a lot to look up too, and she is fairly athletic too, but need to tell her she has no need for worries about possible competition from J.B. and The Boy. Wednesday was their district wide, elementary school, mile long "fun run." Neither J.B. nor The Boy had any idea why they called it that, as they couldn't see ANYTHING fun about it. The Boy ran first, and we are pleased to say did NOT finish last. J.B. ran second, and came in close to the middle of the pack, but nearly passed out afterwards. BOTH of them finished the race though, completing the entire mile. This is quite an accomplishment which cannot be said for many students who just simply quit after 2 of the 4 laps around the track.
We are VERY proud of them both!

I'm with J.B. and The Boy! Running is NO FUN ~ exercise in general can be a real drag

Great job to both of them. I can hardly walk, let a lone run very far!
