A Long Run

On Tuesday it was a cloudy afternoon and the cross country was on the field. We needed to sit in our age groups. When the teacher was ready we started with the five year olds race. The lined up then they walked towards the line. When Mrs Pole said "On your marks, get set, go!" Malia was first in the race. When the people all had a turn the seven year olds were next. We walked up. When we were ready Mrs Pole said "On your mark, get set, go!" I was running as fast as I could. I ran around the cone and up to the fence. Then I got down and Monique was in front of me. She said I was first in the race. I'm proud of myself. I can't wait to get a certificate!
