Xelly's Chronicle

Today after school, a few of us planned to go running (Kyoshi, Madison, Mary, Jessie, and me). Unfortunately Madison got sick with strep throat so she was with us only in our minds. We got a late start because I got a solo in this upcoming chorus show, and I had to work with Mrs. Peeples for 10 minutes because she is combining it with another song to make it a semi-medley. Well, that took longer than expected because there were some technical difficulties. So, when I finished, we got some money and ran up to Sonic to get a rootbeer float/strawberry limeade slushie/chicken bites/banana creampie shake (our individual orders).

We stayed there a while and talked while we had our snacks when Kyoshi realized that he needed rubberbands for his braces because he ran out and since his orthodontist wasn't very far away, we went there and got his rubberbands, got free toothpaste, played with Leggos, and conversed with the extremely nice orthodontist and receptionist.

Next, we went to the middle school, Fiveforks, because it wasn't much farther and Jessie had to go to the bathroom. Everybody loved us everywhere we went because we are Brookwood runners! So we got to go into the front office while the middle schoolers were getting out and Jessie went to the bathroom. We talked to the Principal and the Receptionist and they all knew Kyoshi apparently because he was a trouble maker turned good. Then we got lollipops and Jessie and I ran back whil Mary and Kyoshi were tired. Then we waited at the school for 20 minutes while we waited for Mary to get back because we remembered all out stuff was in her locker! : )

So it was a good day for a Monday and I was glad to be running after being a week without it, and let me tell you, I am so out of shape. I got really tired from 4 miles and we usually do 5-6. I had to stop so many times. Still, a good day for running.
