Today was the day of the Halloween run for SRLA! We have been training for months, and we have
collected a lot of bottles for SRLA
Cares.
We got to school
early in the morning, when it was still cold and dark. Everyone was waiting outside for the bus to
arrive, and we were very excited for it to come.
We picked up kids from a high school, and we saw Angel! He was on our team last year, but is now in 9th
grade. He is learning to play the viola!
When we got to the
race, we got out of the bus and went to warm up. We waited in line for the bathrooms for a very very long time. Then we warmed up and went to line up for the
race. Some teams do better stretches
than us, and our coaches told us we could learn them for next time.
Today is my first race, and so I was very surprised to see
how many people were there. We turned
the corner, and all I could see was so many people. I could also see a very big hill! That is where we ran when we started the
race.
After we ran up the big hill, we ran past houses and people
cheering for us! There are some houses
dressed up like haunted houses. Those
were cool.
When we got to the finish line, we ran around again. We did not
want to get disqualified for only running 5 Ks.
When we got to the end, everyone cheered for us! We got a really cool medal, and a purple
t-shirt. We can wear them to school
tomorrow instead of uniform!!
Then we got on the bus
to go home. That was fun, too. We ran 6.2 miles today, and we spent time
with our friends and donated bottles and had fun!
Today was a really fun race.
I am excited to run the next one at Universal Studios!!
