First, Let Me Take a Selfie

My typical morning routine for the past six months has consisted of going into work from 5:30am - 7:00am to complete uninterrupted "deep" work, getting a quick 30-45 minute workout in, and then returning to work. When it's decently nice outside I like mix up my workouts by going for a short run in our community. I believe by going for a run outdoors gives me an opportunity to be visible in our community, model healthy living to our students, and clear my mind for the rest of the day's work.

​

Last Friday I did my normal loop around Tama and I saw some kids walking to their bus stops. When I run by our kids I typically slow down my pace, take out my headphones, and wish our students a good day. But on this day I was feeling extra outgoing (it was Homecoming Friday after all) so I asked the kids if they would like to be a picture. Their faces suddenly lit up and they eagerly accepted my invite.

​

Later in the day I visited the elementary school and, randomly, encountered all six students at different points during my visit to the building. What I noticed was that each student had a huge smile on their face and waved at me immediately after I entered their classroom. One student even asked, "Do you always run?" Based on the students' overwhelmingly positive responses, I believe this is another great way to build relationships with students, as well as model the importance of staying active and physically fit.
