Jim, That was the greatest day as a teacher of my life. I am still processing what just happened but my brain and body need a little time to recover. Thank you for coming up with and sharing this amazing idea of how to get kids moving. Now because of your original idea there are over 600 students and their families excited about exercising and getting/staying fit in Gardner, Kansas. I can not thank you enough for setting such a great example. Thanks, Kyle Amos PS I will get you shirt in the mail monday. Life got a little crazy this week. Kyle is a PE teacher at Moonlight Elementary in Gardner, KS. He contacted me way back in October, having seen the article in Ultra Running Magazine about Mr. Parry's Endurance Challenge. He had questions about doing the same challenge for his students and we have been in contact ever since, with information for each other about both challenges. His 24 Hour Challenge happened this week with Kyle running 24 hours from Thursday morning to Friday morning for his students. Amazing and very cool! Here is a link to a TV story done about his challenge the morning of his 24 hour run. You have got to watch it. He seems like a great guy who is genuinely interested in his students' well being. http://www.kctv5.com/local-video/index.html?grabnetworks_video_id=4666894 From Kyle's 24 Hour Challenge FB page:

Don't set your limits...go out and find them. Mr. Parry's Endurance Challenge was created to motivate and inspire my students and others to get out and do something extraordinary. For more information about my challenge, feel free to email me at runjimparryrun@gmail.com To follow my progress during a run, click on the RunKeeper Live button on the left of this page.
