On Your Mark...Get Set...Go!

Once again, plans have changed....thanks to the snowy weather! The Hero's 5K race idea has been destroyed. The race cost went up about $10 more than it was before, and I had an entire week off of school, therefore missing an entire week of spreading the word around about the race!  It is because of this this I have decided to drop the Hero's 5k race plan. But luckily I have a lot of other potential ideas.  A few of these ideas are...

• get involved in Mrs. Rivers' running team for the lower school (I've spoken with her, and she is giving me a book to borrow about her running approach for the kids) 
• Do some Track "funny games" during half time at basketball games to get people interested
• Get involved with the P.E program at school to get kids interested in running Track

This week I had two major meetings. One was with Mr. Tucker and one with Ms. Tewksbury. I now have Ms. Tewksbury full support, and she gave me the idea of potentially working with P.E classes at school. My meeting with Mr. Tucker was super successful too!  We decided the first official practice date! It will be on February 15 after school.  Practices will be on Tuesdays and Thursday at 3:15 right after school, and should end around 4:00 or 4:15. A track meeting will be held on February 4th after school to give information about the team. (times/dates/medical forms/exc.) I also talked to Mr. Tucker about looking into finding a Track we can potentially practice at. He is going to speak to West View Elementary about borrowing their track once a week. (I would do it myself, but Mrs. Zion told me I should get an adult to find the practice location, because they will not take a High Schooler seriously).  I will be making an announcement for the next two weeks at Chapel, for the upcoming Track season. I will also be making a weekly announcements about the Track team in the Knighlty News! The first one went out this week! Check it out! I also asked my Dad to donate money to the school for Track.  This way we will having money to buy a discus and shot put to practice with!

Things are looking very good for my Senior Project. Everything is finally starting to fit together! :)
