Running and blogging! by Holly Parsons
Everyone in my family enjoys running - including me!
But it's sometimes hard for me to find someone to run with. My brother and I sometimes
run together, but he's much faster than me. And my dad's too busy to come at the
moment. So my best running partner these days is my cousin Mandy. We go almost every
day - it's great! We don't go running when it's raining, but l still want to keep fit on those
days, so l go to the gym, or I play badminton with Mum. And sometimes I swim in the
local pool. That's what I like the most!
I also write a blog about running. I began writing it because I liked writing posts about
where l go running, how I feel when I run, and the kinds of kit I like wearing. Now lots of
people follow my blog, and they give me great advice! Some even say they started
running after reading my blog, so that's great!
Of course, not all my friends are interested in running, so I don't ask them to come with
me, and they always want to know about my latest runs, so that's nice.
I'd like to improve my running so l can enter more races. l've done some local races, but
I've never won anything - but that doesn't matter. l'd really like to try a 25 km race soon.
Everyone says it's hard - but we'll see!
