Cat Walk

This last week at school we had the annual Cat Walk fund-raiser. Each student gets people to pledge money for how many laps they will walk during the hour long Cat Walk. There are prizes for who collects the most money, who walks the most laps etc. Being the competitive type I told my nephew Brent, who is in first grade that I would pay him $1 for each lap. The day of Cat Walk several teachers and I had talked about running the whole time to see if we could run the most laps. After we ran a few laps I saw my nephew Brent. He was plugging along. I decided that more than running the most laps, I wanted to get Brent to run a lot. So I dropped out of the teacher-runner pack and grabbed Brent's hand and we ran 15 laps together. Each lap is 1/4 a mile. So 15 laps=3.75 miles. Not bad for a 6 year-old. We had lots of fun.
