Why did you start running? I started running cross-country in the 7th grade because I was fast but too skinny to play football. I ran throughout high school but got away from it during college. I picked it up again 2 years ago, got into a couple of races, and was talked into running a half-marathon. That was awesome! Never in a million years would I have thought that running 13.1 miles could be that cool. What an adrenaline rush!!
What do you hope to gain from this trip? An experience that is unbelievable, that I can share with our students. This kind of cultural experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity and to involve the students at Stewart Middle School is awesome.
