This, kids, is called a pancake split. That thing we do where we're against the wall, feet straddled out as far as possible, where your legs feel like they are tearing into little slivers of meat... that is a scaled version of this thing. This is definitely good mobility to have.

Walk-a-thons are boring. You just walk, someone makes a little mark on your paper, then you walk some more. Meanwhile, every lap you finish is one less dollar your grandma can spend on socks for you for Christmas.
Running is the less-boring people's version of walking. And you know what people are not boring (for the most part)? Elementary school kids! In an event that I randomly found out was created by Katie Shakes's mother some years ago, Warren Consolidated schools do a Fun Run every year as a fundraiser. Yesterday I was invited to Ender's at Wile Elementary.
He finished 30 laps around the baseball field within the alotted time! Great job kiddo!
