Before starting to train for this run I was nervous, I did not think it would be possible to get myself to run 5 K and could not begin to think about doing a 10 K. During the training process I discovered that I preferred ten minutes running and one minute walking opposed to seven minutes running and one minute walking. I decided the ten and one method the day of the run, I stuck with it and pushed through. Eventually I understood how to breath when running and how to run distances. One of the first runs our class did back in September in the ravine I felt disgusting afterwards. It was a hot day, I was running at the back of the line, I had cramps and I just wanted to take a nap. Feeling sweaty and sore, running up and down the hill. Back

Looking back I am pretty sure I had a fever. I pushed to get myself to go to the run and do it because I worked so hard already. There was a lot of excitement and people cheering, it was interesting to run on the streets in downtown Toronto. During the race I tried to focus on myself and not to keep up to the speed of those around me. I started to run with my younger brother Jacob and then we continued at our different speeds. After the race I felt accomplished, it felt great to go tell my family about what I completed. I showed my grandparents the metal I got and they were beyond proud. Feeling tired, hungry and that my legs were still going even if I was completely still. The rest of the day was tiring, yet I felt that I could carry out a lot because I already did so much early in the morning. My total time for the race was one hour and ten minutes. I know that if I was not sick I could have probably done it in fifth teen minutes less. I am okay with my time but I hope to run my next 10 K in under an …show more content…
The first few months I felt that I kept failing at running because it was so hard and I was lacking confidence. It was also challenging to get back into running once I recovered from my concussion. Ultimately I feel my biggest failure was the day we ran in class at an incline of 15 and I got sick from it. I wish I could have pushed through when it was too challenging. That was by far my least favourite, I also do not enjoy running in the heat. I feel that my most significant accomplishment is my confidence about running and my ability. My overall attitude has improved drastically, from I also feel that now I can go to a gym and know how to use the machines. The last significant important improvement for me this year is that I stopped stretching before working out. I’ve felt that the day is so rushed that I need to start the workout right away and I either forget about stretching or push it aside. I really enjoyed the Zumba! I found it was a fun way of getting a workout and having a good time. Feeling distracted by the movements and the music. I hated the uphill running, it made me feel sick and it was definitely my least favourite. I felt very dizzy afterwards. Whether it was on the treadmill or running up the hill in the ravine. I did not like the way it made me feel.
