Two of the kids ran our old homeschool PE mile course this evening. Both of them came home saying that they had cut almost half a minute off of their personal best mile times. Neither one of them believed that that could be right. It’s been a while since I mapped it out, but I was pretty sure what they’d run was a mile.

One of the boys and I went out and walked it after I downloaded a GPS app on my phone. It was a mile, though they both had started from a different tree than I started from which may have affected the time by five seconds, but not thirty. I don’t know where the running thing comes from. They definitely didn’t get it from me.

While this was all happening, another one was at the bike trail. Ethan and one of his school friends ran seven and a half miles. After that they stayed at the old high school where a summer baseball practice was going on. He said the practice was almost over and he was going to try and catch the coaches before heading back home.
