In sixth grade I quit the school band in the middle of my third year to join Running Club. The goal of Running Club was to run a 5k after weeks of practice and I accepted the challenge. Throughout the duration of training, I would find the long runs consistently demanding and a test to my motivation to persevere in the club. One of the coaches, Miss. Ames, was my teacher from the previous year and she ran with me during practice. She constantly encouraged me to push myself a little more every run and to keep practicing. I was frustrated with my performance, but Miss. Ames continued to encourage me. Nevertheless, preparing for that 5k was an eye-opening and an overall amazing experience.

Running records. Essentially a visual recording of the student’s reading word by word. It enables a teacher to identify the reading strategies the student may or may not be using and the types of errors the student makes while reading. These errors reveal what is going on in the student’s mind as he or she attempts to make meaning, or comprehend the text.

In today’s society we all are trying to find a place in which we belong. We tend to surround ourselves with people who we share a common interest with. Finding a community is a goal that several humans have, we spend most of our lives trying to fit into society in one form or another. Some people are not always successful but the ones that find their own community are the lucky one. Luckily I am apart of that group. Ever since I was younger I have participated it sports, like soccer, field hockey also track and field. In each sport I have found the value of community and the importance of creating healthy relationships. However, between all of the sports I have played track and field would have to be the one where I truly feel at home. In the eighth grade I threw away my soccer cleats and traded them in for track spikes. Before I joined track I never knew how much went into it. The average person may think all track runners just run around in circles for fun. But, there is so much more to it, in order to be successful in

Ultra-running is an extreme sport enjoyed by few that involves pushing the human body to its limits by running distances further than a standard twenty-six point two mile marathon.

First of all, I would like to say that I enjoyed choice reading very much. I am not an avid reading and don’t enjoy it that much. That's mostly because I don’t know what genre I like to read. I liked how you made it where we can go at our own pace. I feel that this trimester went very well. People really enjoyed it. We did have enough time to read. If we didn’t, most kids did read at home to get their number up. The most challenging book I read was the last one that read. It was called the Running Dream. It was only challenging because it was hard to follow because the chapters were very short and there were 3 parts to it.

www.mapmyrun.com I hate to be bound by roads or paths or mile makers, I like to make my own route, my own course.... which is great, except for the fact that I am than not really sure how far I have run. There are two main types of training, running for distance, and running for time. The best way to train is to use a combination, so weather you are running for distance or running for time it is often important to know how much ground you have covered. And even if you are a "time runner" like myself, it is good to do a distance run every once in a while to see where you stand and have an idea of how you will do in a race situation. While I do run for over-all enjoyment, and usually just pick an amount of time to run, it is nice to know the mileage I have covered, that is why I wanted to share this great resource with all of you. It is an online program called Map My Run (www.mapmyrun.com). You start by entering an address, once the map opens you picks points on your running route (using the symbol that looks like a dot), once you have picked all your points simply click the stop button (the button that looks like a stop sign) and it will tell you the distance at the lower right hand corner of the screen. This has been great resource for me, and allows me to easily make up 1 mile, 5 mile, 10 mile route, ect. You can also add aid stations that you know about, or bathrooms, or places to get water. That way you can print your map and have all the information you need on it
