Started training for the winter series 5k. ran all around the neighbor hood. I am tired after staying up late last night. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE : )

I ran around the neighborhood. I am still on winter break YAY : ) but dad is not : ( Everyone at my house is under the Weather so I don't think I will be doing anything fun. JUST GOt back from swimming. We started with a 100 free 100 back 100 i.m. Then we started doing tons of 25's. Finally we did 200 free 150 back set 3 times. I am very tired i get to go to dad's school with him tomorrow : ) Just made an awesome 2 layer chocolate cake YUM.

Ran around the whole neighborhood. I am going to jump around Utah with my neighbor Sally yay.  Jump around Utah is a bouncy place.

I ran around the block twice then had to get home because mom made Bacon and Pancakes yum!!!!! I have swimming tonight plus dry land for a half hour we do pushups sit-ups long sets like 1 minute jumping jacks 10 pushups and 12 sit-ups 3 times UGGGGGGGH.

I went to the Olympic Oval with dad and ran 2 miles. I got home and built an Awesome snow fort under all the snow. After that i went to frozen yogurt with Jake and Andrea. Right now i am eating chocolate while listening to dad and and Andy laughing at americas Funniest Home Videos dad is doing his weird laugh.

I used Dad's Garmin to do 1.5 miles then did some more after with the dogs. It was the coldest run I have ever done 12º Brrrrr. We have a sub this week my teacher is in Mexico. Her name is Kara but we all call her the "Whistler Lady" because she always whistles at us to be quiet.  

Didn't  run today i had swim practice for an hr and 1/2 plus dry land. I am getting ready for a big meet this weekend.

Today i ran with dad . Tomorrow i have a swim meet after school fun but to much waiting to swim. Lulu's bird is at my house for a little bit she is really nice, Andy has probably fed her a pound of food.

Got home from my swim meet. Got 3 seconds of my 50 breaststroke my coach said it was the best breaststroke i have every swam. Frank is still alive and Summit loves Frank sorta 

Went to swim practice tonight. Tomorrow i am doing my Report on Russia Yay. Frank is great.

I am home sick today. I will probably not run the race tomorrow. FRANK is sitting on my shoulder while i type this he is quite the little helper.

I Today I started running well actually I started yesterday when I ran I little over a mile. Me and dad ran the Bad Dog Loop. I ran about 2 miles mostly running but a little walking. Dad says that all runners name their runs after the things they see or happen on the run so we named this run Bad Dog Loop. We got the name because while we were running and this dog runs across the street this old lady in a car starts honking and says "Bad Dog" then the man across the street started imitating her horn she got mad and drove away. :0.  :)   ;)

  I watched a movie about Mary Decker and it inspired me to start running again. 

We went to Andy's baseball game for two hours. I started with an easy 7 minute jog then I did six hills with three minuets of rest between each one. Then me and mom went for a jog around the avenues :) I'm glad to be home!!!!

 I ran down to highland high then on the way back I decided to go down the dirt trail down sugarhouse park. Then I slipped and fell into the mud :(  it was quite fun : ).

  Tonight me Andy and all the others are sleeping in the tent in our neighbors backyard we do it every summer and I usually don't get much sleep :( but its fun so :)

Me and dad went to the Highland High school track. We did lots of times around the track then we did some stadium steps. 

I did not run yesterday I went to lagoon with my friend. We were there forever.  :) :)

 Went for an easy 3.25 mile walk with dad. We went through our neighborhood then we went through downtown Sugar House and stopped at whole foods for a drink of water. Then we walked through Sugar House park then home. :)

I went to school with dad today I did a mile around the track then I came home and ran two more miles. I start school tomorrow :)   :( so im happy and sad

Went for a two mile walk with dad so dad told me to count it as 1 mile. Just started school a couple days ago so I have been super busy, we had homework on the first day of school:(who does that?:)

I cant use color anymore:(:( 

Ran 2 miles around the neighborhood before school. Have to go to school soon first full week of school.yay 

Ran around the block one easy one as fast as I can and one easy. Picture day at school today which means we dont have to wear school colors yay

ran 2.5 miles easy and hard.The snow cone place at the end of our street is closing for the winter so we all went down and got one:)   :(   I spent the rest of the night watching the same video over and over again it is so funny (see link on dads blog)

Ran 3.11 miles fairly easy except the last block which I ran super fast. While I was running I found that the street was closed so I had to run around that street. I also ran into a cat named Chello I stopped to pet it but then it started following me back so I could not go untill I distracted the cat.

Went to the Salt Lake Bees game today with my family and my dads 3rd cousin who was in town. At the race the Select Health people were there if you completed the challenges you would get a free t-shirt one of the challenges was to run around the stadium 3 times which is a mile. Thanks for the tickets Amiee. So I ran around the stadium three times. The gym locker room at school had plumbing issues so we could not get into the locker room and I left the good shoes in my gym locker so I had to run in my to small running shoes and now I have a blister on my foot. Back to school tommorow. Yay!

Went 2 miles. went around mount olympus with my family but not all the way of course. Then we went to the park where andy ran around and played. Me and dad got bored and started to walk home. Mom and andy picked us up half way. Plus I did forty five minutes of soccer in P.E today at school. : ) Tomorrow is the first day of swimming for the season yay!

         Ran the Alta Peruvian downhill bash and BBQ bash. Me and Jake ran together fro the whole race. I almost fell off the side of the road so Jake caught me before I could. We ran and at about 2.5 miles it started raining lightly then 1 minute later it started pouring and lightining. Once the rain started we started going way faster, We did the last mile in 7.5 minutes. By the time we finished we were soaked and freezing. We got back up to the lodge and had the barbeque it was so good. Then we swam in the hot tub. And later we went and played  some board games. 

         The next morning. I woke up early and played a game of chess with Andy he beat me by a ton. Then Natalie and Shelby woke up. Amiee started giving us a scavenger hunt. She had us go find stuff all throughout the hotel it was so creepy. We found all the stuff then we wandered up to the 2nd floor and found the bar. In the back there was a room that said employees only in big red letters we went in then Steve came. In the room there was a polar bear on the wall along with a buffalo and a deer. In the back room there was a boars head. Steve started chasing us around the hotel with the boars head who does that!! we got so scared and ran screaming. Then we played with our model horses then came home. It was fun.

Just did one mile this morning . I dont have swimming today so i will run more tonight.
