running and thinking about the future

soo today in history i had a wierd thought. in 100 years, students will be learning about our time. the same way that we have to memorize dates and people and events during the civil war, or how imperializm effected 3rd world countries. In 100 years or so they will be learning about how Facebook affected life today, or who invented the i-phone, or why we have soldiers in Iraq. its just such a wierd thought! like, everything that we are doing today will be compressed into a chapter or two in a 1000 page textbook. all of our social problems, our economy going bad, and the first black president, will only be things that kids will know to pass a test. i dunno. something to think about.
so last time i blogged about wanting to go running. and guess what? today i did!!!! me and nikki only ran a mile, but oohhh myy gosshh it felt AMAZING! it feels so great to be flying across the pavement again, to be pushing your lungs as far as they can go, and to feel the calories burning away. i have developed a deep love for running through cross country. during the first part of the summer, i hated cross country. every morning i would wake up at 7 and think, why the HECK am i doing this? then during practice, i would think, i am so ready for this to be over. after practice i would think, yes! a whole day untill i have to run again! but through the summer, i got used to running. now i love the feeling of miles turning below your feet, and the fresh air pumping through your lungs and re-energizing your body. mostly i just love going fast. i think i have gotten pretty good at it too. maybe. i dont know. but today, at the end of our mile, i sprinted, and it was like i was flying. ahh. i wish it was summer so i could run all the time. but my new goal is to run at least 3 times a week. me and nikki made a deal. she will teach me how to be a great cheerleader, and i will teach her how to be a great runner. good trade off right? i think so(: annyy way. im off to do my sit ups! i learned a new way to do them today. i might even put some push ups in there. maybe. kay bye!
