Running

While I was unable to do yoga I decided to choose another activity for my action requirement. I decided that running was the perfect action activity for me to do.

This was a particularly painful task, the last time that I went running was in the 10th grade in physical education. I decided that in order to complete a successful run, that I should have someone there to motivate me to run faster, farther and longer. I decided to go with my sister.

We ran from our house in Runda to Rosslyn Ridge where we took a break and played basketball at the courts in Rosslyn Ridge. When we noticed that it was going to ran soon we decided it was best to leave soon, as we started to run from Rosslyn towards the UN Road it started to rain. This was not just rain it was pouring down. This was not a fun experience. My sister Amber told me if we run to the round about, we could get picked up and dry off. This was the hardest run of my life. Running against the rain and wearing contacts is not a good idea. When we were close to the round about I was unable to see due to my blurry contacts. So she then had to lead the way to our car.

Ever since then running has been a lot easier to go through I have started to run to different places such as River Cafe and Village Market and back. I am starting to have shorter breaks for walking periods and longer running periods.
