Let the Training Begin!

On July 31st my training for the half marathon I'm doing began... My cousin Emma is also doing it. I am excited! This will be the farthest distance I've ever done at once! 13.1 miles! All this week I've been training! The half marathon is I think the 22nd or 23rd of October. I can't wait! Have you ever run a half?

My Favorite Sport.

I know the picture is a give away... But try guessing anyway: What is my favorite sport? Well besides running my favorite sport is... Football! It involves throwing, catching, and best of all... running! I play football at school, at home with my dad and Josh, and at Ashtons house. Football (and of course running!) are my favorite sports. Whats yours?

The 10k Race.

Last January I did a 10k. A 10k is 6.2 miles. The 10k was called the hot chocolate run. It was a great race. My mom, one of her friends, and I did it. I finished ahead of them with a time of 1:05.23 One hour five minutes and twenty three seconds. It was a great race. I love running. Have you ever ran a 10k?

Trail Running!

Last Sunday my dad and I went trail running! In my opinion trail running is much more fun and exciting then running on a road. So we went to bent creek to meet with a group from our church to go trail running, and no one was there!!! So it was just daddio and me running on the trails of bent creek. We had a great time and ran over 5 miles! (We jogged the whole way without stopping!) Also the weather was great and the scenery was beautiful! I love trail running! Have you ever been trail running? P.S (I got the photo off of google because I didn't have any pictures of us trail running. That is not the bent creek trail.)

The Best Book Ever!

My most favorite book ever? Oh that's easy! Beside the Bible (the best book ever) It's the book I'm reading right now called Born To Run. As many of you know running (and football) are my favorite sports, I do them constantly. Anyway... The book is about this guy who can't run without pain. So he goes and searches for an ancient tribe of runners called the Tarahuma. It is a true story and so far a GREAT book. It makes me just want to go running so badly! It is a great book though. What is your favorite book?

Conquer a Cove.

Our school has a 5k called Conquer a cove that I ran last Sunday. My number was 88. I jogged and sprinted through the whole race. When I finished my time was 26:54 my fastest time for a 5k yet! Out of almost 350 people I finished 63rd. My dad finished 14th with a time of 22:06. 14th place! Thats pretty cool. Josh finished 97th place with a time of 29:01. My mom finished with a time of 34:03. Josh, my dad, and I all got medals. It was fun day. Do you like running?

Conquer a Cove is tomorrow!

Hello! Conquer a Cove (A 5k race that is at my school) Is tomorrow. My whole family is running it. My friends will be there. It will be AWESOME!!!! I'm trying to do under 30 minutes. I will tell you more tomorrow! Are you excited?

Thanksgiving and a Turkey Trot.

For this Thanksgiving our family went to Hilton Head. We went with our grandparents, Emma, Sophie, and their family. While we were there, We ran a 5k race called the Turkey Trot. My time was 27:14. Josh's and Sophie's time was 34:45. My dad's time was the best of all... 22:16! He ran with me most of the way but at the end he got an energy boost, and sprinted to the finish. I hope someday I will be as fast as him. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for everything that happened. Do you like Thanksgiving?
