Today after school, a few of us planned to go running (Kyoshi, Mary, Jessie, and me). 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. Due to some technical difficulties, those ten minutes turned into over a half-hour. When I finished, we scraped up enough change to buy something when we reached Sonic.

The run there was easy, but we rewarded ourselves anyway with a feast: a rootbeer float, strawberry limeade slushie, chicken bites, and a banana creampie shake. Kyoshi realized he needed rubberbands for his braces, so we ran to his orthodontist who supplied us with free toothpaste as we built towers of Leggos in the reception area. Everybody loves Brookwood runners!

Next, we went to the middle school so Jessie could go to bathroom. Kiyoshi spent many days in the Principal’s office (heh), she was excited to see him doing well. The receptionist was excited to converse with the Brookwood runners and gave us lollipops for our run back.

It was a good day for a Monday. I was glad to be running after being a week without it.
