Weekend, More Training!!

       Friday, for Outward Bound, I had Tennis. Me and my group went to this place where it was a huge tent like thing that had tennis courts inside of it. It was held up by air inside, so when we went inside the pressurized tent, our ears popped because it was like being inside a huge bubble. It looked like this. It was all full of air. It was fun to play Tennis inside of it. We all got candy also.


       Friday, Levi had his friend over, and they played a lot on the Xbox so I just hungout Friday night and watched YouTube. Saturday, I went to the Food Co-Op with Oma in the morning. We got a lot of Vegetables, especially the green ones. I got a Pancake from the Co-Op which is what I usually get. It comes with syrup, and a strawberry syrup and it is really tasty. I did Piano, and Saturday night, Me and Levi watched a scary movie, then some Spongebob. Mama and Oma went out for dinner Saturday night so it was just me and Levi. I put him to bed at about 9:00 PM.

     Sunday, I woke up and we ate at 10 AM. I cleaned all of the Bathrooms to get 20 Euro that I am saving up to buy some American Snacks off of some websites soon. I have 80 Euro saved up right now. We went to walk down to Grafton at about 5 PM to see the Lights turn on for Christmas, but they said it was going to be happening at 7 PM so we had to walk back, because we could not wait around that long. We still needed to eat dinner.

     I am still running to train for the 5k Run in the Dark that is in 3 days on Wednesday! Here are some new times I have recorded! I ran a 5k Last night!

Total= 22:08 (5KM)

My times now are about 2:20 or 2:10 now. They are pretty consistent which I am happy about. I did better November 11th for some reason. I only ran 9 laps that day though. I finished a 5k in about 22 Minutes. I think it might be a little bit less than a 5k because when I measured the distance around the park in google maps, I measured the roads, but I run on the Sidewalk, so We will see what the real 5k time I can do on Wednesday. I hope to get under 25. That is my final goal, maybe 24 or 23 minutes if I am really fast. I estimate that my time will be around 24 minutes. Under 25 hopefully!

    Here are some pictures from Grafton street. One building had some nice lights on it already lit up, but some of them were not lit up yet.

    Also, something really exciting happened today. I got an Email from someone at GameStop regarding my Work Experience, and It turns out I have a week on March 6th, for 5 days. They said I would be in the Merchandise department that week. It will be so fun to do and I can not wait! It might be an awesome job to look into for the future!
