So, I just ripped a corn's cob apart :P It looks fuzzy inside....weird. Anyways, I wanted today's post to be dedicated to RUNNING.
I LOVE RUNNING. Yeah, I know....I should've joined the track team.-bounces fingers off forehead- In my defense, by the time I knew that the team had started, I was debating on whether I should join or not. As you guys probably know, I normally do sprints and jumps. However, I also enjoy running long distances....well not too long.....yet. xDD And this dragged on and on and on and finally it was pretty much atleast mid-season, so I'm like, Screw it, going to join next year. Oh and you know what else I realize I say alot now? "Screw it." -___- I see ignorance in this saying D:< .
To engage in running, I decided to go running with my cousins :D We went to my school's track to run, which I like better. Because I've grown up in this community, it's kind of awkward when I'm still a teen and I'm running because normally you see adults do it to become more fit.
So, I prefer a track. Also, I get to know the definite distance that I run. So, take my school's track for example, each lap is 400m, so if I run twice around it's 800m, 3 times = 1200m, etc, etc.

HAHAHAH, sooo completely off topic but I just had dinner and we had a hilarious conversation! So, I was saying how we are eating chicken and eggs today, almost like a parent and their children. THEN my brother asks me if I know where eggs come from and I'm like, YEAH. They come from chickens. Then he asks, Then where do chickens come from? And so I'm like, They come from chickens too! If a chicken decides to breed a chicken, then they give it warmth, if not, then they don't and then it becomes a egg!
And......my brother calls me a retard ._. So I'm like, WHAT!?!?!?. Then he explains how there are different species that breed eggs and chickens. So, I'm thinking, Then wouldn't the chickens that only breed eggs become EXTINCT!?!?. :P And then he tells me that chickens are the babies and eggs are just something that female chickens naturally produce. I'm shmart! (x
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, back on topic: we went running! I decided to run a mile which is about equivalent to 1.5 - 1.6 kilometres, since I use the metric system...because you know....., I'm Canadian :P Okay, so I decided to run 4 laps around the 400m track = 1600m.
It said that I only ran 0.8 miles on my ipod tracker -.- , which is obbvvviously incorrect. But I did finish in 7.26 minutes (: My goal was to be under 10 minutes.
My plan is to actually run every Sunday, for now. Then hopefully I can move to weekends, then also Fridays and eventually running everyday or almost everyday :D .
I hate it when I see people already occupying the track-.-. I know that I can't help it if people in the community use the track too, but I feel more comfortable when I'm alone when I run. That's why i try to go later in the day but when it's not exactly dark yet because I'm horrendously afraid of the dark(shh!) and I want to be alone. Anyways, after my run, my body felt really tight (thanks to no gym classes for the past 2 months) but the worst part, was my arms. Normally, my legs start to numb first, because you know, you're running with them? OBVIII .
However, this week my cousins aren't coming over :/ , which means that I'll have to run myself. I hope that I don't just, "Screw it." and not run. So, CMON MELANIE! QUIT BEING SO LAZY AND EXERCISE! Oh and btw, for those who think that I'm doing this to get skinny, I'm not. I just want to be more toned and fit.
You know that sometimes when I run up the stairs, I get tired and am somewhat out of breath? That's how you know you're out of shape, which is me. Plus, I want to include exercises into my lifestyle. In the near future I hope to instead of just running long distances, I want to incorporate stair climbing, since they're bleachers there, and sprinting.
For now though, I'm trying to be more productive with my school work, since I'm kind of slacking without a routine D:< and I'm trying to keep up with my French. I have alot of events coming up in May and they're fairly close to one another. Things like, West Side Story theatre trip, My previous school's Badminton Banquet, (possibly) White Pine Awards trip, A Band Performance, Athletic Banquet and my previous school's Barbeque Festival event! Hopefully next week will be better than this one :/ ! Take care.

YES MELANIE GET TONED!!! :D I'd love to go on a West Side Story theatre trip :) How come you're possibly going to the White Pine Awards trip? Last years Red Maple Awards was AWESOME so I'm sure the White Pine Awards will be even more AWESOME! I actually prefer stair climbing to running long distances :P
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not too familiar with West Side Story but supposedly it's similar to Romeo and Juliet? So, meh, might as well see it since my English class is going.
DeleteI'm possibly going to the White Pine Awards trip because I'm not sure if I want to go since they just announce the winners, hear the authors talk(boring if you didn't read their book) and go to some workshops -.- .
Stair climbing is pretty hard though since it's on bleachers that have a pretty high altitude, sooo...sticking to long distances for now. I'm going running in about an hour!!! AHHHHH!! :/
Good luck with the running...Or as they say in theatre...Break a leg ;)
DeleteHmmm...so THAT'S what the inside of a corn cob is like.
ReplyDeleteLOLOL. I love how that all you get from this post xDD
DeleteIndeed.
DeleteOh, by the way, West Side Story isn't just similar to Romeo and Juliet...it IS Romeo and Juliet. The plot of WSS is based on R&J, but it'll make sense :]
