Why I Chose Running

I chose running because I wanted to be an athlete like my Mom.  She inspires me with her confidence and work.  She shows me awesomeness and working hard will make a great person.  I want some of that.

What I like about "Mile with Mimi" is that you can stop when you want to and push yourself forward when you can.  It is hard to push forward.  It is hard to keep going.  I KNOW I'll get better.  It takes a lot of guts to run, but it's all in your head.  You choose if you want to keep going.

Running is hard for me.  I stop, it pains me.  I miss a few days because I am scared.  I normally get back up but it is getting harder.  It is hard not to stop six times in just a mile!  Today is October 10, 2017 and I am choosing right now to push myself harder.

    Miriam, your courage and insight inspire ME. You are a terrific writer. I am impressed with your fortitude and commitment to excellence. Your desire to be a better version of yourself with every new sunrise resonates within my own soul. And just when I think you can't become any more perfect, you show me that yes, you can. I am so proud and humbled to be your mother and friend.

First Memory of Getting into Trouble

My first memory of when I got in trouble was when I cut my bangs off.  I was 4 years old.  I snuck the scissors into my bedroom.  I didn't want my bangs anymore so I cut them off.  I didn't like them.  Getting in trouble for the first time made me want to cry and pout.  I was angry and sad.  I didn't fear that mistake because I will never cut my bangs off again.  I learned that mistakes are okay and you can fix them.

I wake up at 7:15.  My day is a good start.  I first take a shower.  Then, take Lefty on a walk.  P.S. I didn't eat breakfast because of Fast Sunday.  I fasted for Mrs. Johnson, our school librarian.  We are now at church and I sit next to my cousins.  The rest was BORING!  That is because everybody was gone on Fall Break.  I find myself watching a movie and fighting a lot with Andrew, aka Max.  I've been here from 12 to 5:30 and it is quite BORING! Come back to blogging now.  I don't know what happens now because it is 6:40.  I am now watching another movie, Moses.
