Claire and Emilie took part in their school's chapter of Read Right and Run this year. Every Monday they met after school for 1 book read together, 1 good deed done, and 1 mile run. For 25 weeks. Then today, they met at Forest Park with hundreds of other children to run the last 1.2 miles. This way they completed a marathon (26.2 miles). They got race t shirts, bib numbers, and medals for finishing. It was a really neat experience for them. Here are a few pictures:
