The fastest runner debate

Krystal the marathon queen...

I thought this would be interesting to write about since it is a lively topic with the kids. This year the kids school is participating in the Marathon kids program. Each week Ryan and Krystal participate in a fun run. The goal is to complete a mile every other Friday and by the end of the school year the sum of all the miles would equal or be greater than a marathon. It is interesting to go up to the school and see the other statistics the PE teachers are keeping such as students per grade with the most laps, the overall percentage of students per teacher that complete a mile each time they run. Well, Ryan and Krystal have no issue completing one mile (6 laps) every other week in the fun run.

The debate between Ryan and Krystal is who is faster?

Krystal completes at least (7-8) laps per fun run. Ryan consistently gets (6-7) laps. Then after a lively debate in the car about who is fastest Ryanl came home with a (9) lap certificate showing us how it is done :-) . With Ryan completing this milestone we came to the conclusion that Ryan is faster in short distance running but Krystal is faster in long distance running.

About a week later Krystal came home with a (9) lap certificate and now it is a fun conversation every Friday when they come home after the fun run.
