Running :)

I love running. I just can’t tell you how much I love to run. I am currently on the Fairfield Track Team and I am also currently training for a half marathon. I have been on the Fairfield Track Team for 3 years; this is my third year. When I was in 7th grade I ran the 4 by 4, the 100m, and the 200m dash. The 4 by 4 is when you have four people on a relay team and each person runs a four hundred. The 200m and the 100m are exactly what it sounds like. Then when I was in 8th grade I hurt my knee so I was only able to do the long jump. I probably should have just have been out for the season but I was too stubborn. So I think I made it worse that year. Now that I am in 9th grade I am only running the 100m and jumping the long jump. I am one of the fastest in the 100m and I am the 2nd longest jumper in the long jump. My knee is still hurting but I have a brace now so it is not bugging me as much.

So one day Cambree Dotson came to me and asked if I wanted to run a half marathon with her. I was hesitant at first because I am not a distance runner. However, she convinced me to run it with her so now I am training for it. I started training on March 30, 2012 with a 3 mile run. We were only supposed to run 2 miles but we wanted to get a courtesy cone from Artic Circle. So we ended up running an extra mile to get our ice cream cone.

Since I have been running at track and training for the half marathon I have been really tired. I have been trying to eat better, but it has not been going well. I am a really picky eater so it is hard for me to eat healthy foods. I had an earlier post about how much I just hate almost all meat… I think you know where this is going. When you are exercising you want to eat protein to help your body to keep up with exercising. So I don’t know how this is going to go with eating meat. So on my way to school this morning my dad was talking to me about how much I need to eat healthy. I don’t know how I am going to survive this summer… oh well I guess. At least I get to have fun running. :)

sissy's blogs

I have been fallowing my sister’s blog. These are the summaries of some posts that she has.

Dreams

She has been having really strong dreams lately. One dream is about her getting married. She can’t see her husbands face and she can’t remember all the details but she just remembers having really strong feelings about this man. Her other dream is about having a baby. She was handed a bundle of blankets in the hospital and she realized it was her son. But she is a single mother in college. She had to make a decision on weather or not to keep him or give him up for adoption. In the end she chooses adoption.

Memories

She lists a lot of memories that she has had, from childhood to now. For example some of the memories on the list are: dancing in the rain, skipping Spanish class to go to the mall, lying awake at night thinking of him, meeting Jon Schmidt, childhood play dates and many more.

Technology

She tells a story about when she was at work a little girl about 8 years old and she had this nice, sleek cell phone with a touch screen. She says that a little 8 year old does not need a cell phone that nice or even a cell phone at all. Then she goes on and talks about all the advances in technology over the past 20 or so years and how it’s really amazing.

Never grow up

She talks about how much she likes ‘Never Grow Up’ by Taylor Swift and what the lyrics mean to her. Then she put the songs lyrics on there for everyone to read.

Reasons to hate working in fast food

She used to work at a fast food restaurant. So she gives a list on why you should hate working at a fast food restaurant. These are some of her reasons: working until 1:30 am, getting a 2nd degree burn on one of the many hot appliances and being surround in fatty grease. Then she tells about how happy that she got a new job and not having to work there anymore.

An Update on Everything

She started playing the guitar and she is teaching herself. She is trying to learn Teardrops on My Guitar and You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift. She is glad that she can have music in her life now. She is also trying to figure out where she is going to college over the summer, either at Utah State or Weber. She doesn’t know where yet but she wants to get done with schooling as soon as possible so she can move to Seattle, Washington.

superheroes

Super heroes are everyone’s best friend. Every kid when they are young has a super hero that they just love. When I was young my super hero was spider man and batman. Those two heroes were and still are my favorite super heroes. I loved how superman could fly and had all of the powers he possessed. Then when it came to Spiderman, I l loved how he could climb walls and shoot webs out of his hands.


Spider man has been in comic books, movies just about everything. I typed in the word spiderman in to google and it came up with a whole bunch of random articles. I thought this one article was pretty cool. So I decided to share it. So here it is. The injury-prone Broadway musical


"Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" has temporarily lost another cast member after the show's lead actress was hurt performing an onstage battle scene, according to a spokesman.


T.V. Carpio, who plays Arachne, will be out for two weeks, according to Rick Miramontez, a spokesman for the show. Miramontez said Carpio was injured March 16 while performing the scene with another actor. The spokesman did not say specifically how the cast member was injured.”


I thought that was pretty interesting. So I continued looking for more random articles about these awesome superheroes. Here is another article.


“In the thriller "Spider-Man" (hitting theaters on May 3), actress Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) arrives in New York, eager to make it to the top. But dangling from the Queensboro Bridge, clad only in pink Cosabella PJs, wasn't exactly what she had in mind. Luckily, buff Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) swoops in for the rescue.


"But Mary Jane is much tougher than the old damsel in distress," says Lisa Tomczeszyn, associate costume designer. "She's smart and strong-spirited." Although the former teen queen trades in high school combat boots for sleek Manolo Blahniks, Mary Jane's adult emotions are a tangled web. She's smitten with Spider-Man, but will she ever notice shy Peter Parker (the heroic arachnid, incognito), who has secretly loved her since grade school?”






“If "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" can rise above devastating reviews and headline-grabbing injuries, much of the credit will go to director Philip William McKinley.


McKinley was hired four months ago to salvage the troubled show, which officially opens Tuesday evening.


"Well, they say I'm either the bravest or stupidest man in New York," McKinley said.


As stuntmen flew overhead before an afternoon matinee preview, McKinley says he took the job in large part because of the commitment of the show's team.”

“The summer movie season gets off to a literally swinging start with "Spider-Man." Not since 1978's "Superman" has there been a live-action, comic book-based film so savvy at mixing self-aware camp with sincere emotion, and so successful at establishing the normal guy life of its spandexed protagonist. "Spider-Man"'s web loses tension, though, later on when its hooded hero concentrates on battling evil, becoming another bombastic, special-effects-laden spectacle”


Can I just say that Spiderman is my favorite superhero ever? He even better than my other favorite superhero, batman.
