My Physical Goals

For the past month, I have spent part of almost every school day in gym classes. But for the first time this school year, we went outside and ran a mile. I hate to admit it, but I don't have many athletic abilities. After I ran the mile, a very slow mile, I felt like I was going to die and it pained me to see how many other peers passed me- some more than once. Though running a mile was an accomplishment for me, it was also a blow. In the week following, my legs still ached from that measly little mile. Perhaps a pulled a muscle. I hope I built some in the proses. But the fact remains, that measly little mile was difficult for me to finish. My goal for this year is to be able to run a mile easily; hopefully, I will be able to run two miles. If I apply myself in gym class and run around my neighborhood at least once a week, maybe I will be a stronger runner for it.
