Since then I have accomplished this and I am able to run for a full 3o minutes I achieved this by running for 5 minutes then walking for 2. It eventually built up my cardio to enable me to run for the full 30 minutes. Since now I am able to run for the full 30 minutes. my next goal is to be able to run for at least one hour without stopping. I am still working on pacing myself correctly as sometimes I tend to run faster at the beginning then have no energy in the end. This can often make it difficult to keep my mentality throughout the entire run. The biggest challenge for me when starting to run for 30 minutes was making myself motivated to keep going. Often, I would get discourage if I would see other people running faster then mean or for a longer. It was hard for me to keep going because I was embarrassed I was not at the same level as them. I am glad I did keep going and encouraging myself to keep going because of where I am at today and how far I have

In the Wellness Workbook: How to Achieve Enduring Health and Vitality, Travis and Ryan (2004) share their thoughts and philosophies on wellness. Their ideas include taking care and maintaining our bodies, clearly expressing emotions, building and nourishing relationships with others, and being aware of our psychological and spiritual presence. Travis and Ryan (2004) provide a great example: they explain that a person who is in top physical condition does not necessarily mean that they have achieved high-level wellness. They could be overwhelmed and full of stress in their home and/or work environment; they are most likely facing premature death on the wellness continuum. If a person is suffering from an illness or is dealing with some type of disability and are working towards having the best life possible, then they are most likely facing high-level wellness on the continuum.

After a cloudy morning of nothing but spelling and Spanish class, I was fervent to escape into the cool gym to practice for the first grade play.
