Carrie’s Marathon

Carrie decided to participate in a before-school running club this semester.  Twice a week she, and about a hundred classmates, would run between one and two miles around the school athletic field.  Each time she finished a lap, her gym teacher would hand her a popsicle stick to keep track of her progress   As she racked up the miles she received ribbons for key distances; 5, 10, 20 miles.  The final run was held on Saturday, October 27th and she was able to make it past the 26.2 mile mark for the season.  This earned her a special Chinook Trails Elementary marathon patch.
