I ran for Sudan

You will never believe it in a million years, but I jogged 13 miles today for the Bonn Marathon, and I even have a medal to prove it! My friends and I all heard about the marathon and were told that we could be sponsored for running to benefit the children of Sudan, and the building of new schools. We were under the impression that there would only be a few people running with us, but man were we wrong. 11,500 people joined us for this cause. There were also thousands of people on the sidelines cheering us on. I was planning on walking most of it, but it is pretty hard to walk when you have tons of people cheering for you and getting you all hyped up. The best part was when we got toward the finish line, they set out a red velvet carpet for us, threw out confetti, and then rewarded us with a medal and an endless supply of food. 

Afterward we went back to our school field, and the staff barbecued steak and sausage for us! We spent the rest of the day laying out and enjoying the nice warm sun!
