It's official, I'm insane. I agreed to help put on the 1st annual Traverse Mountain 5K. The Principals crazy idea to have all 899 students run a 5K. I started the planning last October, put the website together, had an online registration form and everything. Unfortunately I was the only one thinking that far ahead, everyone else started their planning about 3 weeks ago. Anyway, I really don't want to go into a long story, I flew back from China this morning, rushed home from the airport, went an marked the course with Allie and Carina, I had allie pace the Kindergarten and 1st Graders, Carina paced the 2nd and 3rd Graders and I paced the 4th, 5th, and 6th grader. 2 4th graders had the best overall times at around 23:30 with me. Carina had a 3rd grader come in at 23:50. Don't know what's wrong with those lazy 5th and 6th Graders. The race went very well considering how hard it is to just organize 3 kids, let alone 900. I only got yelled at by a couple of parents who think their kids should have won. Now I head off to Boston tomorrow morning, I really don't think I'm setting myself up well for a good race on Monday.
