Cross Country

We had a Cross Country meet Tuesday. When we got there is was really humid and hot. We warmed up and was close to starting the race. But then the race officials called a 30 minute delay because of lightning. Then it started to cool down really fast ,the clouds were real low, and dark.Everyone else got to race(Senior,Varsity,JV) but the middle school. I really wanted to race that day and I was sad that I couldn't .Next , Our team went to the buss and called attendance and we left  to go home ,and the weather was getting worse. The next  day at practice,Thursday, Coach Thurman said that there was a small tornado but it damaged alot of homes.

Tape Measure

When I see the picture of a tape measure I always think of the doctors office because they always have to measure you, and weigh you. and if i want to see how tall I am or to just play around and look how big my wrist is or how big my belly is or neck and ankle. I also think about it when you want to sew .You measure what you are going to sew, so you know how long or tall it is. I think about the tape measure for people who work in construction. They have to measure how tall and wide the door is going to be or how big you want your garage.People use it for school to teach kids how to use math.A lot of people use the measuring tape today.

Bottled Up Memory

My bottled up memory would be being alone in the woods on my dogs, Mya,Rosco,and Skittles. I would open up the bottle everyday. I would open more than once a day probably. When I would open the bottle it would take to the best place in the world. I would feel so happy and peaceful and not disturbed. It would be a joy at the end of everyday lying on the ground rested up against Mya,Rosco,and Skittles. I would open the bottle anytime and anywhere .I would probably open it during the nights when I can't sleep. Only if there were an invention that would make that possible. And sometimes we would venture out in the woods deeper and deeper.

Cross Country this week

This week we had a four day weekend. So we didn't start Cross County till Tuesday . Tuesday we had to run down to the park , we stretched and then ran our trail . when we finished our trail we got a drink and ran it again. When we finished writing it the second time we got a drink and ran back to school . We got our stuff and left. We ran 5 miles that day. Wednesday  we just stayed at school. We got our uniforms and did 100 crunches and 40 push ups . Then we went outside to run up and down hills . when we finished we  ran around the track 2 times and then we were done and went home. This Saturday we have our first meet . It is by the zoo its only 2k so it will be easy.
