Last
weekend I ran the Trail of Two Cities run from Ocean City to Somers Point. It
was a 5K race. By the way, a 5K is 3.1 miles. It was tough to get up at 5am and
tough to run over those really big bridges. I was so happy when I got to the
bottom of the second bridge, turned the corner and saw the finish line up
ahead. Then I started sprinting!! I passed 2 kids(my age) and three adults! When
they announced the winners in the under 9 age group, I was so excited to hear
my name called for first place! I got a really cool medal, and can’t wait to do
it again next year!This is a picture of
me with Mr. Rogers, the retired Attales cross country coach. He won a first
place medal too, and he yelled, “Go Absecon!” when I won mine. I will never
forget that day!
