Just Keep Running

My life story in 100 words.

I started running when I was eight. I would run 1–2 miles every day with my dad. I had ran a total of 8 5ks by the time I joined cross country at 11. When, I joined cross country, I was the best 6th grader on the team. I ran all of my races, mostly getting in the top three for my grade. And that continued on onto 8th grade, when I was diagnosed with Vocal Cord Dysfunction, an untreatable defect. And now I am back at the start. A little 8 year old trying running for the first time.

I will listen to this music video when I am running. It inspires me to keep going.

I was just sitting around on my couch doing this project.
