SSES Running Club

by Jordin and Luke

In Running Club, Mrs. Magnusson is the teacher.  We are lucky that she is doing running club.  The grade 3s and 4s are in the running club.  She counts our laps and miles.  On Friday, June 22nd we are doing a Super Run!  You need 26 miles to run a full marathon.  You get lots of exercise at running club.  Running club is after school at 3:45 and it ends at 4:30pm.  Before we start running club, we exercise.  We exercise for 5 minutes in the gym.  We also exercise for a cool down.  We start running by the music bars then to the spider, to the tennis court, to the High School, to the ditch, to the white house, to the Xs and Os and back to the music bars.  You need to do that three times to make a mile.  Most people run a mile or two.  We usually run two miles.  Mrs. Chapnick sometimes helps us.  If it is raining we run inside.  We run the halls, but walk through the library and by the staff room.  Six laps through the school is a mile.  We run lots of laps inside.  Outside, we usually run to the spider, walk to the tennis court and run to the high school.  Then we walk to the ditch and run to the white house.  We walk to the Xs and Os and then run to the music bars.  Oh, you better bring your water bottle.....you'll need it!

Running Club is FANTASTIC!
