Hey everyone!

I havent had the best week at training this week. Ive had pains in both of my legs all week so I had to miss a lot of training this week but I have been doing my streches and exercises. Going back to training on Tuesday, going back from the start again. Hoping to feel better by then! :)

I have my 3rd exam tomorrow! My 1st English one then its the big ones next month and June. I have to do a presentation about any interest, and thats my sport. ATHLETICS! It’s all ready and done to be shown tomorrow! Feeling confident about it. I will let you guys know how I get on with that!

On Monday I got a video of me running from last Saturdays session from Gateshead Staduim (check out my last blog about that) its so cool. It starts off really fast then it go’s to slow motion. Check it out! http://www.twitvid.com/DNWKG

Hey everyone!

I was at my 1st competition of the season yesterday! and myself and my athletics club (Chester-le-street AC) did great!

I woke up on that morning excited, i was jumping around the house getting ready to go! When we arrived, we did our normal warm up as we would do it at training. I felt more relaxed after the warm up.

My 1st event of the day was the 100m. I felt really relaxed and very confident about the race. There was 4 girls in my heat. I came 4th but I got a brand new p.b! 14.6! knocked 0.4 second off my old time and I have been working really hard on my 100m in training!

2nd event was my long jump. At my 1st jump I had a very bad start! But I came with a good comeback! I also got a p.b in the event; 3.51m I wanted a higher distance but I just started the long jump a few weeks ago since France! But I have a lot more competitions coming up! I will have a lot chances to get better!

My 3rd and final event of the day was the 200m. I was so tired and hot because it was at the end of the day and the weather was really hot! I had 4 girls in my heat. I felt a bit confident because I worked on my blocks and did a small warm up before the race. I came 4th and I knocked a second off my old p.b; 31.1! I was not expecting to get a p.b because I felt so tired and hot! But I was very happy!

Everyone else in my team did great! Gaining new p.bs! We all did fantastic!

I would like to say a BIG thank you to all my friends and family for the support before the competition!

My next competition is next Wednesday (the day I go and meet my local ASDA!!) . 1st event of the Grand Prix! Its a outdoor league which will be happening once a month until August!

Here is a video of me doing my 200m race running down the the last 100m! I am in lane 4!

Hey everyone. HAPPY EASTER! Hope everyone has a had a good weekend!

Its been a really good week at activity week, on the last day the weather was fab so we decided to have a big water fight! It was so funny all of the us and the kids got soaking wet! I went straight to training afterwards, not a good session as I had a small pulled muscle. Its all better now though! It was just a small muscle strain when I was running 300m at training. Back training on Tuesday!

At the Easter weekend all I did was catching up with a few friends and revision for exams after easter!!

This Wednesday coming, I am off to meet to my local ASDA and I cant wait! I have loads of fundrasing ideas, really looking forward to it. Straight afterwards am off to a competition, The North East Athletics League, its the 1st one and the last one is in August. I will be doing 150m, 300m and the long jump! Its my 1st time doing an outdoor league and I cant wait to compete in it! I will let everyone know how I get on!

Hey everyone!

Yesterday, I went down to meet my local store in Boldon! When I got there I met Tracey and Caroline who will be helping me with my fundrasing in the store! They both showed me around the store and I got my big cheque :D Also I met the Store Manger Sue! She was really nice and she lives not far where I train so I might see her once or twice at training! Tracey and Caroline sat me and my dad down to disscuss fundrasing ideas! We are planning to do bag packing in May soon! I cant wait to start it all the fun fundraising! :) :)

After I met with them, I went home and got relaxed for a compeition in the evening; North East Athletics League! 1st League of the season! It was a good meet! I got new times in my 150m and 300m, as for my long jump…not the best of jumps, I had no time to recover from my 150m and I had to go to straight to long jump! 2.12m which is ok considering I didnt have the chance to recover! All I wanted at that meet was times and I got them, the 2nd of the league meet is on the end of May!

This morning I got a present of my sister, IT WAS NEW STARTING BLOCKS!!! :D It was so unexpected! I was so happy, Nice green blocks with a lovely orange bag! Thanks again Rebecca! I cant wait to use them at training and at competitions!

Blog soon
:)
