Fun run is mutually exclusive

Today is fun run. The only thing I find fun is not many students come and it's a half day. This morning during the pep talk they were talking about kids pushing through their pain and continuing. I looked at my wife and said "no, the only thing that does is make you puke, and that makes you come to the nurse, nope, just stay out of my office"?

Push through the pain? 80% of my visits I wish I could tell them that.

Our district has had a "turkey trot" the day before Thanksgiving that the other 3 elementary schools (excluding mine) would participate in. They closed one of the elementary schools this year, and another is facing closure/consolidation with my school, so the powers at be decided that in an effort to improve morale, our school would join in with the other 2 schools and the high school would host.

I'm really hoping that since it is the day before Turkey day, it ends up being a wash of a day, but I can see the whining starting already as they have begun their prep for the trot in gym already....

I giggle because the PE teacher and I are both endurance runners. The kids don't get very far with their complaints.
