24 hour Challenge Run

Okay. As I post this the boys are nearly 1/3 of the way through the 24 Hour Challenge Run. Just a mere 2 months ago these boys risked injury running to the bathroom. Today, starting at 3 o'clock, they began the 24 hour running challenge at their school.

Over 300 students have qualified to participate in a team relay that has kids running around the track for 24 hours. [There were training logs and gym class preparations in which if you walked then you were disqualified!]

There are about 2 dozen teams and about once an hour each participant runs a mile. In other words, each participant will run nearly an entire marathon over the 24 hour period.

Do they raise money? No.
Do they get credit? No.
Why do they do it? God only knows.

We are very proud of their commitment to this challenge and we wish them the best of luck. View the picks to see what this voluntary activity looks like.

btw - We suspect that tomorrow night will be an early bedtime!
