Animals and Good Form Running

Alexander worked at the library with me on Thursday.
Science Alive brought neat animals.

First - the chinchilla

The armidillo - the Three Banded - the only one that rolls into a real circle for protection.

And they always bring a snake. This one started out about 10 inches and traveled in Mr. Neals' pocket. She is 5 years old now!!!!

After some school supply shopping - and new running shoes, Alexander participated in a Good Form Running Clinic at Playmakers.


They video a person running with shoes.

Barefoot..........

And analyze their form - all while learning the Good Form Running technique.

1 - pasture

2 - mid foot strike

3 - cadence

4 - lean

Something - a lot - for him to work on as he returns home soon to cross country practice.
