Walkathon

4/23/10, Ha and Hee's school had their annual walkathon to raise money for the school.

Hee's class started walking and running at 9:30am, and after we helped the kids change the walkathon T-shirt, they got ready on the track. Hee and his good friend Jeffrey were partners, and they held hands from the start to the end. These two were relaxing kids, and most of the time, they were taking slow walks around the track ，感覺很像在逛夜市。Their class walked for an hour, and Hee only walked 8 laps. Each kindergartener got a otterpop and 2 raffle tickets.

Ha's class started walking at 10:30am. Ha was determined to run well in order to  raise more money for the school. My job assignment was to punch the holds on kids' ticket when they finished one lap. I had an opportunity to remind Ha to drink more water and get otterpops and raffle tickets. For 2nd graders, they could get a raffle ticket or an otterpop every five laps. Ha wasn't very interested in getting these, but he drank a lot of water.

At the end, Ha walked/ran 39 laps. He ran faster and faster every year. In Kindergarten, he ran 11 laps; in 1st grade, he ran 25 (20+, I couldn't remember)laps, and this year, 39! Not bad at all. When Ha determined to do something, he would try hard to do it well.

However, the next day (Saturday), Ha's legs were very sore. He could only walk slowly, but he kept comfort himself by saying: "my muscle is getting stronger now, so it sores" (That's what I told him, but I wasn't sure if it's true though.)
