The Greenway

In October, I did a walk/run on a trail called the Green-way. It is a really long trail that is pretty much all straight. It's cool to see were you have been when you look back.

running around Ft. Moultrie

In October, I went to fort Moultrie and ran a couple of laps. It was really fun! I got to see the fort while getting exercise too!          

My trip to Tennessee

This summer, I went to Tennessee. While I was there, I did a bunch of hikes. The roots were really sticking out and it was steep so that made it a-lot of fun. I also went to Clingmans Dome. It is a steep trail that leads to a really high observation tower. I also walked the width of the Appalachian Trail!

just another gate walk

This past weekend, I went down town and did yet another gate walk. I keep doing them because its the best walk around.  It has so many things to look at and see.

4th of July Firecracker run

On the fourth of July, I did the Laurel Hall Firecracker run. It was four miles for he fourth of July. It was a really fun run through marshes and paths. This was the runs 2nd year.

folly beach run and surfing

I did a run on Folly beach with my family and it was really really windy on the pier. Then we went to a surfing day here and I saw a lot of famous surfers.

summer fun with my cousins

This summer my cousins came over from Portland, Oregon to spend two weeks with us. We did a lot of things together like bowling, water skiing, surfing, and making sushi with my Uncle. I took a break from running because we were so busy!

Art run

 My brother was taking an art camp this past summer and so I did some runs around the art museum that week. 

This is me at the end of my run.

Most of the run was in parts of the gate walk downtown.

Capers with Winston

We did a long walk on capers island with our dog. It was really cloudy but the dark clouds look like blue sky. Winston chased a few dogs but he always came back to us. This is called the boneyard.

The Cannons

We went for a big walk in the cannon park down town. It was really windy there so it was really fun! When we finished our walk we had a picnic and climbed on the cannons. It as really cool to see.

Summer walks/runs

Hello again! I'm in the fifth grade and I'm going to still be posting as much as last year! I did a lot of walking and running during the summer and  did a couple 5k runs to!   The summer was  really fun and I'm glad to be posting again!   ..
                                                                                          U
                                                                                 
  
Here are some of the runs I did!

During the spring I went to Washington DC  to my Grandpa's funeral in Arlington Cemetery . It was really sad but interesting at the same time. I miss my Grandpa but it was cool to see all the museums and monuments. My Grandpa was buried in front of the Pentagon.   

 This is me in front of the White House. This did not look how I imagined it to look but it was awesome!

    

                    This is me with my brother and my cousin Lauren who went around the city with us. We went to the Lincoln memorial and walked up the steps about 20 times! In this picture it looks like Lincoln is photo bombing  us!

                               Its so nice in Washington and I hope I can go back soon!!!                            

Happy days

This is my last post of this school year. Thank you for following my blog and thank you for your support. Follow me this summer while I continue my walks and runs and raise more money for MUSC Children's Hospital. See you soon!

MUSC Cancer Research Center

This is Dr. Jacqueline Kraveka and she is in charge of the research lab at the Children's Hospital at MUSC which is the Medical University of South Carolina. I got to visit the lab because my classmate and friend Joey Izzo donated his birthday money to MUSC research so we got a special tour. I learned a lot about the lab and we got to see some actual cancer cells under a microscope and see the refrigeration for chemicals and cells. We got to go in the -2 degree refrigeration unit that they use. 

This is my teacher Mr. Zak telling us things about the lab and that they use the exact same process of science that we do but they just have bigger and more expensive toys.

secret shark teeth beach

Sometimes we run on this beach and sometimes we just look for shark's teeth!  You can kayak, swim, or boat, or canoe, or jet ski, or land on the beach by parachute but you can't get there by car!!!

The Lincoln photo bomb!

We took a trip to Washington DC because my Grandpa was buried at Arlington and that is a cemetery for soldiers who have been killed and or injured in a war or for a medal and the Army wants to honor them. My Grandpa's grave is facing the pentagon. I thought Arlington was amazing because everywhere you look there are white grave stones. We did a lot of walking and sightseeing also.

This is my cousin Lauren and my brother Cole at the Lincoln Memorial. You have to climb up a lot of steps to get there so we ran up them!

After dinner run

Sometimes before or after dinner I have a run to kind of get me a little bit sleepy before I go to bed! This was a 3 mile run.

Dewees Island rain

On this day I ran and fished a little on Dewees Island in the rain. We didn't catch any fish.

rookery run

Sometimes we run in the rookery after school.

Dewees Island

Over spring break we went to Dewees Island and ran a little while we were there. We would run up to the dock and then circle back around. Some days it was cold and rainy.

I did it!!!

I finished the bridge run! My family ran it with me including my mom and dad and brother and we did it in 1:06! This year we ran the whole way! My story was included in the bridge run online magazine. Click here to read my story.

One of my favorite parts was getting to see these 5 minions running the whole way.

This is a picture of me running up the bridge. It was easier than I thought it was going to be to run the whole way. Thanks to everyone for supporting me! We are looking for a 5k to run soon so keep checking back!

Good luck!!

Good luck to everybody running the bridge run! Thank you for supporting my runs and my blog. Thank you to everyone who sent money to MUSC childrens hospital. I will post some pictures of the bridge run after this weekend. 

last run

This is my last run before the bridge run. After the bridge run I will take a break and then start running again. We have friends and family running the bridge run too! I'm excited because me cousin is running it this year.

running and swinging

This is the end of some of my runs when we run in my neighborhood. I sometimes stop and swing on the rope swing. My new shoes are Asics gels and they are really comfortable and a little bit padded.

soggy pants

This was a fun run and I decided to run in the water for the first time this year. It was freezing - about 42 degrees.

practice bridge run

This was a 4 mile run to help my brother and I get ready for the bridge run.

the leprechaun run

The leprechaun run is a 5k which is only half the length of the bridge run. It raises money for Pattison's Academy. This is the run where you try and catch the leprechaun - that's the guy I'm standing next to. He is a really fast runner.

Washington Square

This is a fun downtown run through Washington Square. I have a new pair of running shoes I'm trying to wear in. This is a good training course.

palmetto park run

I love running in Palmetto park because there are a lot of different places to run to. Sometimes we go to nature island, or the docks, or the tower.

the leader

Sometimes my dog Winston likes to pull really hard on the lead so I don't run with him very much!

get ready for the bridge run

I hope the bridge is as foggy as this on the bridge run day! That would be cool!

I tried to do a motion shot but it came out all blurry. We were trying to get excited to run.
