I'm really not sure if that is truly how the quote goes but that's how I'm going to type it. So I believe that we have had some raised questions and comments about weather were doing the question of the day or the quote of the day and I think that were really just going to be combining them but both me and Sydney haven't really been doing them at all. Will people please post on weather they want to have the question quote or both? Thanks... in the meantime I have a quote, yes its about running sorry if your tired of them but I will never be.
"I'm not a good runner because I am me, I'm a good me, because I am a runner."
"I'm not a good runner because I am me, I'm a good me, because I am a runner."

Do you ever get that feeling when your doing something you love and you want to do something so well and you set really high expectations of yourself but you just can't do it? That's what I feel like when I run. Especially when I do races, I want to keep pushing to keep going faster and everyone says, then run faster, but they don't get it. when your running, your not thinking about how to go faster, your thinking about how much it hurts, and how your sure that your going to die after you finish the race because there is no way that you can keep going on when you are so out of breath and you are in so much pain that you are sure you will die. If people asked me why I run I'm really not sure what I would tell them, I do love the feeling of being able to concur the world and having the most strong legs ever... and the commitment and dedication is crazy you know?And everyone says, Well running is boring why would you want to do that? I guess just being out there is enough, nothing else really matters, you can forget that you just broke up with your boyfriend or whatever other problem you are having. So I guess that's my answer... if that's a good enough one.
Ok so for those of you who don't know, which would be most of you, my birthday was on Tuesday and it was one of the best birthdays of my life. Why you ask? No, not because I got a wii (Even though I did!!!) but because so many of my friends remembered that it was my birthday. It was so sweet of them to make me cards and give me candy bars. This is so so so special because I need my friends and it made me want to cry because I know that they all care about me enough to remember my birthday, I guess the little things in life really do matter.
A little bit before I was talking about being dedicated, well really I only mentioned it, but I want everyone to please take the time to watch this video, I can not believe how dedicated this man must be, if you watch it you ll know what I mean. The time it must have taken him to be able to perfect it? Craziness.

I'm in the library right now using one of the schools computers, it has actually taken me a rather long time to finish this post. Just ask Sydney if you want to know the exact numbers, I think she is a little frustrated with me for not getting on enough but I am so busy, not that that matter because she has tons of stuff that goes on in her daily life. But anyways, I was also working on this in English with the risk of getting in trouble because we had the lap tops on our desks and we were supposed to be listening but i was typing while trying to look normal, not really sure how that worked out...
Well I have to go before the librarian yells at me for not using my time wisely, although this is wise time usage if you ask me. We already got in trouble yesterday for not being quiet enough. I mean come on! So many other people were being louder then us but no he comes over to our table. Oh great I think he's headed this way, Bye!
Don't feed the wild animals!

How you described why you like to run is exactly how I feel about dance. It's like everything hurts so, so, bad and you feel gross and sweaty and you might just fall over dead in the next two seconds, and that's what makes you keep going. It makes you feel strong, knowing that you feel all of that and still keep going. One reason that I keep going is that I feel like I've worked so hard and if anyone else wins, it was all just a waste. You just can't bear to give up knowing that. That's why it's so great when you finally get there.
