SHADOW RUNNING
For big and little running kids

It's a sunny outside and you have nothing planned for the day. We have a perfect idea for you! Exercise your mind and body by combining running, literacy, and science. Have some fun with shadow running. Here's what you do:

1. Read Jeremy Jackson's Shadow Running.

2. Go out for a run on a sunny day and observe your shadow.

3. Bring your imagination with you too.

4. Write a story about your adventure.

5. Add a photo or artwork if you wish.

We'll publish your work on KR.


Editor's Note: You many wish to bring 'science' into this activity. Run different directions and observing your shadow, or go for many short runs at different times during the day. Measure your shadow!

Editor's Note: Running and writing are more fun when they are combined. Warm up, lace up your running shoes and get out the door. Start up slowly, then pick up the pace and have a great run. Cool down, drink and stretch, then break out that running journal and let 'er rip!
