Jonah Barr, 8Homeschooler I've been running for 3 years. I started running because my mom made me. If I could no longer run, I would still keep trying. My favorite run is a triathalon because it's challenging and doing three sports in one race. I like to run with Thad, Andrew, Nicholas and Jonathon because I like to talk to them about cartoons and jokes. Talking makes the run easier. Something most people don't know about me is....I am cool. My favorite thing to do after a hard workout is...drink a jamocha shake from Beef a Roo. When I'm not running I like to read, and watch cartoons. My favorite books are the Captain Underpants series and The Day My Butt Went Psycho series. My favorite cartoons are SpongeBob and Jimmy Neutron and Tom and Jerry. I am inspired by Captain Underpants because he is not ashamed to walk around in his underpants. The local runner I most admire is my mom (Belinda Barr) because she introduced me into running and she doesn't just push me, she pushes herself also. |
To push myself on a run, I race my friends and try to stay ahead of them.
My greatest running accomplishment is.....My first Triathalon(Monroe). I was proud of how I did because it was my first Tri ever and I got first place in my age group (8 year old).
My next goal is to get faster and live up to my new Coyote name KICK.
My advice to other runners....don't think about the pain, keep going it will be over soon, (maybe).
I plan to run until I die.
