DONUT MILE!!!
Every few weeks, we do a team challenge. usually the kids will pick one or make one up based on ones we have done in the past. this is by far their most favorite, but due to the caloric intake it is reserved for 2 times per year--end of Cross Country when everyone looks like they need to eat a box of donuts NAD right before Spring Break in the hopes thta I cram enough sugar down their gullet to turn them off from junk food for the rest of their vacay.
SO, a donut mile consists of eating one donut and running a lap as fast as you can x 4. that's right! 4 donuts + 4 laps! Everyone gathers at the starting area. the gun goes off and everyone rushes to eat a donut as fast as they can. They must have an official check their mouth to be sure that it is ingested (lessens the likelihood of choking and cheating) and then they sprint a quarter. Return to the starting area for thei rnext tasty morsel, eat, run, eat, run eat, run, finish! They are timed while eating and running.
If someone pukes, they must redo that lap...
Needless to say, i usually come in dead last for this challenge, but I enjoy every bite!
Is it sad that we have a school record for this?
Now that I have a "dough baby" in my gut, must nap...
