Rhinebeck Run
Hey Everyone, Sorry I haven't written in a while but I had a lot of tests I was studying for and a lot of Homework. During Thanksgiving weekend I ran a little with my uncle. He is a runner he has ran marathons in the past. On I think Friday we ran about two miles and on saturday we ran about two miles. The two runs are at the top. Right now I have ran a total of 7.48 miles. My goal is by the end of the week to get to a total of ten miles.

Today's Run
Distance: 1.50 mi
Time: 12:35
Pace: 8:20 min/mi
Hi Everyone! I did a run today. I ran a mile and a half. I ran a 8:20 pace. I did slower then I did in the race yesterday, I think it's because I might still be a little tired from that run plus my baseball game earlier today (we won!). On Tuesday(Election Day! Obama will Win!!!) I don't have any school so I might try a 2 mile run and try to beat my time from yesterday.
My Baseball team is undefeated Today might have been our last game I'm not completely sure so I will find that out. BYE!!!
Yesterday's Race
Distance: 2.02 mi
Time: 16:36
Pace: 8:09 min/mi
Hi Everyone! Yesterday's race was really fun. I ran 2 miles and I went at a 8:09 pace. I ran the first mile in 7 minutes and 45 seconds. My dad came in first and beat me by about 3 minutes. I beat some of the college students.
After the race I went to my guitar lesson and that was really fun. I had the lesson with a friend of mine. He played Bass guitar, my teacher played drums, and I played Electric guitar. That was really fun. BYE!!!

Running
Hey Everyone, A week from today my dad, my mom, and I are going to run in a 2 mile race. I am really excited for that. I'll be able to post it one my Nike +.
I should have a Baseball game this weekend but It might be rained out so that's disappointing. Also I think we have have to forfeit tomorrow's game because a lot of our players have other commitments, and that's really sad because we are undefeated. I have to go give my dog a walk so BYE!!!

Season
Hey Everyone My baseball team is doing great! We are UNDEFEATED so far. I have been doing a lot of catching which is really fun. However, at the end of my last game my coach told me I might pitch my next game so hopefully that's true. My next game is this Sunday.
I have been playing a lot of guitar lately, and I finally saved up enough money and bought a Les Paul. The next day (day after I got les Paul) The son of the nurses who take care of my Grandpa in New York who is about 28 decided he didn't have time for guitar anymore. So, he gave me his Ibanez Artcore. It looks like Chuck berry's guitar only it has more of a sunburst. BYE!!!

High School Football Team
Hey everyone I started thinking more about football and I start high school next year so I looked up the physical requirements for the football team at the school I want to go to. The Physical requirements are:
. Run a mile in 8 minutes or less
. Do 30 push ups in one minute or less
. Do 45 sit ups in one minute or less
. Timed on the 40 yard dash
I have a year to work on these requirements. When I tried the sit ups I was only able to do 35 in a minute. So I will need to work on that. This morning I worked on the running of a mile in 8 minutes or less and I ran a mile and a half in 7 minutes and 30 seconds. The other requirements I haven't worked on yet but I will.
A couple days ago I was playing some Football with some friends and I got 13 touchdowns. BYE!!!

Bike Ride with Dad
Earlier today my dad and I went on a 15 mile bike ride. It was really fun and I got to try out my road bike. It works really well. After the bike ride my dad and I got some lunch and then spent the afternoon at the pool. Unfortunately today was the last day of the pool until next summer. My dad and I plan to do at least one bike ride every week (most likely on weekends). BYE!!

First Day Of school
Hey everyone I had my first day of school a couple of days ago and it went really well. On the second day of school i wrote this three page essay and on the third (this coming monday) I have a test in social studies. Since school has started I have less time to write in my blog so don't expect a post everyday.
My dad ordered new breaks for my road bike which finally came and he got them all set up and we plan to do some rides next week after school. The breaks work really well and I can't wait to try out the bike on an actual ride. BYE!!

Backpacking/Camping in Utah for Three days
Day 1- The First Day of camping Grandpa, Jackson, my dad, and I did a six mile hike to our campsite. We were extra tired because most of the hike was up hill and it was really steep and high. Here's a picture of Grandpa Bob, Jackson and I on the hike back home. My dad's not in the picture because he took the picture. When we got to the campsite we set up camp and just read and took naps. After about an hour of doing that we made dinner. We had dehydrated "Mountain House" Lasagna. It was really really good. Then we made hot chocolate and went to bed.
Day 2- After we all woke up we made breakfast. We had Apple flavored granola. That wasn't really good. After breakfast we made hot chocolate. Then we got our fishing poles and hiked up to Amethyst lake and did some fishing. All I caught was seaweed. Below is a picture of roughly where we fished.
Day 3- Hiked back to the car went and got a burger then went home.

Day 5- (really day six but didn't write for day 5 yet)
Day 5- Today in the morning Annie, Jackson, Grandpa, my dad, and I watched the Olympic basketball game. It was China against U.S.A. U.S.A won and the score was around 101 to 70. After the game Annie and I went out and practiced some of our basketball plays that we made. We are getting better.
Tonight I saw Iris Dement perform with her husband and daughter. I had a nice time while I was there. It seemed like each person had there own style of performing. Anyway I'm going camping tomorrow. BYE!

Day 4- (only posting days that involve sports this is yesterdays post forgot to write it. I will do today's post later.)
Day 4- Today I did a lot of fun stuff in Utah. I played a basketball game with Annie, Jackson, and grandpa Bob. Annie and I were partners and Jackson and grandpa Bob were partners. At first we were just sort of shooting around but when we started to run out of time we decided the first team to get three points would win. My team (Annie as partner) got two points. Then Jackson's team (Grandpa Bob as partner) got two points then ended the game with a third point.
Later that night we went to a semi pro baseball game and it was the Salt Lake City Bees against the Fresno Grizzlies. Naturally we all wanted the Bees to win. Unfortunately they did not. The final score was 13-3. We lost really badly.
Yesterday we (Grandpa Bob, Grandma Linda, Annie, Jackson, my dad, and me watched the Olympic opening ceremonies. Tomorrow we will watch the Olympic basketball game the U.S.A against China. I predict that U.S.A will win by at least 30 points. (already saw it look at title for details.) Bye!

Utah Day 1:
Day 1: Today my dad and I did a lot of Activities. We found a couple of bike in my grandparent's garage and we went on a nice 1 hour and 50 minute bike ride. an hour and a half of that bike ride was riding up hill. The last 20 minutes were going down hill. That Bike ride was a lot of fun.
When My dad and I were done our bike ride we had some lunch. Then when we were done lunch I beat him in a game of H-O-R-S-E. That was a lot I mean a lot of fun. when we were done playing H-O-R-S-E we made some gatorade out gatorade mix. We set that in the fridge to cool because we were about to go for a run. We did a two and a half mile run but my dad continued and did a five mile run. I used my nike plus for the first time but it was saying everything wrong. It said I did a 3.32 mile run when I really did a 2.5. It also said I was going at a 7 minute and 49 second pace when I was really going at like a 10 minute pace. I'm going to try and fix that. Even though it's incorrect I'll post it below for you.

Swimming/Biking/Running with dad
Yesterday
I found this old Trek Road bike in the basement. I started to ride it around philly with my dad and I really liked it. The problem with was the brakes. I had to lean really far to even reach the brakes and they were very hard to push. So my father a I decided when we come back from Utah (were leaving tomorrow!) were going to fix up the bike and buy brakes that will be put on the part of the handle bars that are closer to me like a mountain bike. Once we have the bike all fixed up were going to these 12 mile rides around this loop.
Yesterday
I went swimming with my dad and that was a lot of fun. I decided that I wanted to start working on laps. So I swam 18 laps which is 900 yards and a little over half a mile. That was a lot of fun. When we were done swimming my father and I went home and changed, and took a nice run. we ran about a mile and a half.

Running With Dad
E
arlier Today my dad and I took a nice run. We ran 2.51 miles. I have these really nice running shoes that I are pretty new and haven't been used very much, and I really like them. There really really comfortable. My goal for is to increase my distance by a mile each week. For example this week I'm going to run 2.5 miles each day and next week I will run 3.5 miles each day for that week and etc.
My Running time was:
As you can see that isn't really fast but as I increase my distance each week I will try to also increase my speed. My goal is to get my time down to 8 minutes.

Next week: camping with Grandpa Bob
Next week I will be camping with my Grandpa Bob in Utah. Thats going to be a lot of fun. I love camping. Like last summer I went on a camping trip with my dad that was a lot of fun and a couple years ago I went camping with my Grandpa Mike, Aunt Hallie, and Uncle Clinton in The Seven Devils in Idaho. That was a lot of fun. We did a lot of geocaching and that was really really fun. I think and hope my camping trip next week will be just as fun as my trip to the seven devils.
Recent Sport Activities
Hey Everybody! A lot of sports activities have happened lately. I guess I will start with Baseball. My sports team the centaurs Just ended a great season a couple months ago. We won the Championship. I now have this huge championship trophy which I love so much. The positions I play are Catcher, second base, and Left field. My favorite Position is Catcher. As you know it is Summer and I did this baseball camp for one week and that was a lot of fun. I also did this all sports camp where we played a little baseball. Now let's talk about Tennis. I have been playing a lot of Tennis lately and I even have my own instructor. I have been doing this Tennis camp for about a month now and I'm going to do another couple of weeks in late August.
