Preparation vs. Perspiration

If you ever run a race, make sure you're fully prepared.  Kind of like my mom and dad.  They're running the Red Eye Relay.  It's a serious race.  They are getting organized.  They even had a meeting tonight with all of their team members . . . except one person didn't show up.

I've run a race when I wasn't prepared.  It was the East fest 5K.  I didn't train enough.  It was my slowest time ever.

So, you should run a race sometime, because it's fun and good for your health.  But, you definitely want to be sure you're prepared.

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

If it's a rainy day and it's really raining hard and the rope is banging against the flagpole at your school, then you're probably having a bad rainstorm.  That's what it was like today where I live.

My tip on this rainstormy day is that you should always have an umbrella.  My mom wasn't prepared today and so we had to run into the restaurant tonight to try to avoid the rain.  I told her she needs to be more prepared next time!
