Under 11:30

Emry has to run a mile next week for a Physical Education requirement.  Of course I support that and think it's great.  What I don't think is so great is that the girls have to clock in at 12 1/2 minutes or less while the boys must clock in at 11 1/2 minutes or less.  What????


I understand the boys having to do more push ups than the girls.  Boys are stronger, I would never argue that. In fact it's just how I like it.  But faster, not necessarily.  I am a runner.  Glenn is a runner, as well as an all around athlete who excels at every sport he tries.  I am not the strongest or fastest by any means.  But what I lack in physical strength, I more than make up for in competitiveness.  


You better believe Emry's in training.  Her dad took her running last night (9:56 mile) and I took her this morning (9:27 mile). 


I am not sure how accurate our mile is, and half of it is uphill, so I am curious to see what she clocks in at next week.

 I want her to beat the boys.  Her whole class if you want the truth.  The experts say your children should be individuals and to let them follow their own path and find their own talents.


Sorry.  No can do.
