Island Running!

   

 This year for Christmas I received the greatest gift ever.  A DISNEY CRUISE!!! I was so excited about it.  My mom did some research about the Disney cruise and found out that it had a 5k run . This made me even more excited because I wanted to run on Disney's private island.

 

     We boarded the ship but could not go into the cabin, because we had to wait for our luggage.   So we explored the ship.   They  had a big water slide called the aqua-duck   I had my own play place. My brothers also had their own hang out spots.  On the ship they had a buffet that was open all day.  That was
my favorite part of the cruise.

 
    The morning of the run  I went to the meet up place and my dad went to get two big cookies for breakfast. At the meet up I was told by a cast member that I could not run because I was to young.  My mom talked to the cast member and they said I could run but I would not get a bib or a medal. But he also said that no one would get a medal, because they were remaking them.  I ran it with my mom anyways.

     We walked to the starting line.  In 1...2...3 bang we were off.  On the route, I ran through the parent only beach.  This was  a great run.  I ran in a loop, I passed others on the run.   My time was 26.32.  I came in way before my mom. This was an easy run.  Kids my age can run this with no problems.

    After the race was  over my family and I went snorkeling   We also went to lunch on the island. On the island they had a buffet. My mom, dad and me road on a water bike.   It was really fun.

  When we came back to the ship to our surprise my mom had a medal waiting for her but not for me.  My brave dad went to tell them and he got a medal for me.  I was really excited to have a medal.  So I had a great time on the rest of my cruise.

Hines Ward, My inspiration poem & Video!

I like Hines Ward, he drinks chocolate milk,  

It is softer than silk.

Chocolate is my favorite candy,

It makes me feel dandy.

It helps me run fast,

So I don't come in last.

Watch my clip,

Maybe you'll want a sip.

Chocolate Milk, it's the best,

I drink it during my rest.

Praying for Boston

Yesterday I was so excited to watch the Boston Marathon, but was shocked about the bombing.  

I feel bad about all the bad stuff.

I will pray for all the families.  

Newspaper Article about 10k=Kid Runner

I am a homeschooler. That is one reason I write this blog my mom thinks it will help my writings. Today I needed to write a newspaper article.  Hope you enjoy my story. 

(Luke is a person I made up to interview me, the 10k=Kid Runner.)

Me and my mom

Flash Found ~ no longer MIA

Flash is Found 

I was no longer sick so I was ready to run.  My mom found a run that was around Halloween so I could wear my Flash Costume.  She did not want to run this one so I ran this race all by myself.  This run was called Fight For Air.  It helped the American lung Association.  

I wanted to dress as a Flash because I feel as fast as a Flash when I run.  The costume has red and yellow arm bands.  It has a hat with lighting bolts and my shirt had a big lighting bolt on my chest.  This was a homemade costume.  

I grabbed it off the shelf and put it on.  This Flash was ready for a race.  I ate breakfast and went off on my adventure.  I ran this race by myself, although my mom waited for me at half way and my Dad was waiting at the finish line.  

                             

 

It was a rainy day.  I had never ran in the rain before so this was a first.  I got to the starting line and 1,2,3 BANG! I was off.  When I got to the half way point I ate an energy jelly bean.  It gave me the energy that I needed and I felt as fast as Flash.   The rain was actually a good thing because it cooled me down when I got hot.  

My time for this 5k was 26:50.  I came in first in my age group, but the website says I came in second.  This was because a little boy didn't finish the race and when he turned around to go back his chip clocked him walking across the finish line.  I also won first place for my fast costume.  

 

This was my second race when I got first place.  I love racing and I love the bling.

Super Hero Run where Flash was MIA

 

       THE HULK
    Better Know as
    HESTON MIZE

THE SUPER HERO 5K

The second run that I wanted to run was the Super Hero 5k.  The race was in Charleston SC on the Greenway. I wanted to run it because I could dress up as a super hero.  They advertised that you could win a prize for the best costume.  My mom and I made a FLASH costume.  My costume was really cool.  I chose to be Flash as my costume because I was fast as Flash.

Look at these pictures, THIS IS NOT FLASH.  This is my brother Heston.  He had to run this race for me because I was sick.  I was really looking forward to the run.  I was sick all weekend.  My body was really hot and my mom took my temperature.  My temperature was hot as a fire. So I had to stay at home because of my sickness.  I missed the race therefore my brother had to race for me.  

My mom had made 3 costumes, my flash costume, her Super Mom costume,and a super nerd costume for our friend Ms. Elyshia.  Since I was sick my brother ran my race so my costume went on the shelf for later.  My mom had to make a last minute costume for my brother.  She made a hulk costume.  She sprayed green hair paint all over his body.  She ripped up some old jeans, and he was ready to race.  

I was really wanting to go but I had to lay on the couch all day long.  I watched TV for most of the day.  I was thinking about how much fun my brother was having and wondering if he would win a medal for me.  

Her are the pictures my dad took from the day.

Here is a picture of my brother turning into the hulk as he cracks the brick wall.

This is my mom, the SUPER MOM.
