Running For 30 Minutes Straight

 

Me running on the treadmill.

A few months ago I started an iFit training series with Tommy Rivers Puzey. It was the Iberian Beginner Series. I did this because I had no basketball or any kind of sports to keep me busy so I got cranky. I was working up to running 30 minutes straight. I did not like getting on the treadmill to do this because whenever mom told me to change my clothes, I was always doing something. After I ran, I always felt better and was in a better mood. I started out running 30 second intervals. Over time I was running longer intervals like 12 minutes and 25 minutes. After awhile, I was running 30 minutes straight, no breaks. After the series I felt really proud of myself. I felt like I was getting stronger and in my mind I felt like having a party. I was very happy and felt very accomplished. Even though I may have had hard times like arguing with my parents and whining and stomping my feet. (Mom and Dad told me to write this!) It was really worth it. Try it and see for yourself.

Day 1: Trip to Morris Organic Farm We got up in the morning and packed up. We drove for 6 1/2 hours. On that drive we did dress up dolls, watched movies, and did a lesson on moon phases with Oreos. We did a devotion in the morning too. I was so bored in the car and my butt hurt a lot. After a long, long time we arrived at Morris Organic Farm. We got ice cream, breakfast sausage, blueberry jam, raw milk, and a free leftover peach pie from the farmer's market. We had pulled pork sandwiches for dinner. Then we went on a walk. We found some sumac. After the walk we had pie and ice cream. We played some card games then went to bed. Wait, one thing I forgot was it was pouring rain most of the day.

  View from our cabin Cumberland Gap The Cumberland Gap was so pretty! It looked like a big valley. That's basically what it is anyway. The scenery was beautiful though. We went on this cool trail where you could stand in Kentucky and Virginia at the same time! We went on this hike with my Aunt Allyssa. It was super fun. We got new stamp passports and I got a ton of stamps there. I think I got 4 to be exact. Cumberland Gap National Park LMU After we went on our hike at the Cumberland Gap we went to my Aunt Alyssa's campus. Did I mention that she works as a lacrosse coach at LMU? She gave us a tour of her campus. They have a whole building of vet stuff. They have an awesome basketball court! They have a swimming pool too! They also have cows to help with the vet studies. After the tour we continued the drive to our lodge in North Carolina. Profile Trail I don't remember much about this trail but here are some things I do remember. My Aunt Alyssa came on this hike with us. Th...
