Fun Run

Hayden participated in his school's fun run. He was great about getting pledges and determined to raise as much money as possible for his class. He had a goal of 26 laps and man alive he ran 27.

I am so proud of this boy of mine for setting a really hard goal and then pushing hard to not only meet it but exceed it.

It wasn't easy for him. It was a really hot day and he was miserably hot, thirsty, tired and had cramps. However, he persevered and pushed through the discomfort and kept going.

He and Gunter had a great time and cheered each other on.

I love that Hayden stuck to the goal he had and when he reached it, found the strength to do just a little more. Oh how I hope that this sticks with him in all that he does. If I can get him to reach his goals and stretch just a little more, he will move mountains. 

After a water jug was poured over his head he felt much better.

Goal accomplished. Refreshing water. Popsicle. Great friends. Half day of school. What a great day!
