A bumpy start
Today was my first day to go running. Unfortuently it was pouring rain. This made me really not want to go so I had to convince myself that if I did this now it would be less hard tomorrow. That got me going so then I thought of proud I would be when I run that 14 blocks. I had to wait for the rain to slow down a bit before my mom let me go. When I did it was really hard and I forgot to bring my running shoes from school so I had to use my Keds. It was hard but I did it, and it took me 10 min. -
Period: to
Goal Setting: running 14 blocks in 5 minutes
-
Getting better
Today was my second day and it was a lot easier because I brought my running shoes back, drank lots of water, and it was sunny. It was defenitly a lot easier, but unfortunitly my time didn't go down. -
Third times the charm
Today was sunny like the last day. Running was still hard but getting easier. My time went down by 1:05 which is really suprising since yesterday didn't go down. I'm very happy with my results and happy to keep going. -
A bit of a cheat
Today I went out for icecream with Cosmo, Noa, Dana, Sage, Maya, and Mieka. So I didn't have time when I got home to go down my normal ruite. Insted I ran from the school to my aunties house up hill. It wasn't as far but it was really vertical. I didn't time this run. -
No running today
Today I have work fro0m 9 to 7 so I can't go running, Their womn't be anymore enteries on Staurdays. -
Wet
Today I went running but it was very hard because it was pouring. My mom made me bundle up so it was hard to run for a long distence. My run took 8 minutes. -
A suprising day
Today I had to stay home to watch my brothers for my parents. That was exiting but made my kind of lazy. So I went early so I could get it over with. I was a little scared my time would go up because of not going on Saturday, and having a hard time yesterday. Today it was really sunny and nice out so I wasn't inhaling water. I am proud to say I ran the whole way. I forgot to time my run so I asked my mom. She said about 7 minutes. -
A sunny run
Today was nice and sunny, so it was very easy to run. I went right after school because I was very exited, especially with yesterdays results. Unfortunetly because I went after school all the kids at the school near by were walking home, so when I was panting they all stared at me. Other than than that everything went ok. My time was 7 minutes again. -
Stuck in Victoria
Today we couldn`t go home becaus we were all sick. -
A sighn in the way
Today was a little gloomy, but I've had much worse. Something that got in the way is at the last block they';re doing construction on the side walk so I had to cross the street which will take up some of my time. Nothing else happend the was very signifigent. My time today was 6 minutes and 33 seconds. -
A normal run
Today wasn't very different from yesterdays. when I came home I was a little sick so I waited a while before I went. My brother stoped the timer on my ipod so I didn't get the exact time other than that every thing went well. -
An easy run
I'm always a little scared on Sundays that I'm not going to be able to run as fast, but today was really easy. I got new runners so that might be why. The reason I got a new pair is because I didn't want to forget my shoes at school and not be able to go for a proper run. To day I just ran for fun so I didn't time it. -
A suprising day
Today was interesting. On my runs I usually go later so I don't run into kids going home. Today I was running into other runners. On my run I ran past at least 6 other people. I could tell it was their first time running because they were panting! My time was 6:00 -
A quick run
To day I tried to run a little faster than I normally do. It was much harder but I felt like I got more exterecise after. I think I'm going to change my time because theres a lot of runners latley. -
A switch
Today I went to Victoria after school. When I got to victoria I ran down to the private beach which is really steep, down the stairs which is about 60, and ran back, I didn't time it becaus eit's longer than myu normal run. -
A short run
Today my cousin came to Victoia with. From my nightly writing I'm sure you know me and her are very close. Today me and her went on a short run about 7 blocks from my aunties to my grandparents. -
A fun run
Today me and my cousin had a race. Usually they are very long and boring, but today was very fun and exiting. We ran 7 blocks again as fast as we could. Of course I won! I think I'm going to join track that way I can put my running abilities to good use. -
A good reason to go on vacation
Today since I don't have to go to work I could go running. My cousin left to day so I went for a longer run down to the beach again. I've been doing my culture project for a long time so I was happy to get out. -
Sick
Today I couldn`t run because I got I caught my dads cold. I`m super happy I went yester day because it wont be such a big gap of not running. -
Finally back
Today I came home and felt a lot better so I ran. I was a little slower but it wasn`t any harder. my time was 6:30 -
Family dance!
Today was the family dance and trck! Today was my first day of track which was very nerve racking. I heard last year their was lots of running and crying. So instead I'm going to skip runs today and just do track. When I got home I has=d to get ready for the dance quick because I was a volenteer for two shifts! -
A nice conversation
Today when I was on my run a nice women who lives down my street stopped me so she could thank me. She said her husband and her have seen me run every day and felt like they should try it too. Dhe asked for some advice, so I said drink lots of water. I'm glad that my goal is affecting other people too! -
