Resting at home because I am exhausted. On Sunday I ran a 5K race in Troy N.Y. The 5K was nice, it was a road race, very flat. My time for the race was 18 minutes and 22 seconds a personal record for me! I got fourth overall and third in my age group.
Then on Tuesday I ran in a track meet. This track meet was all relay events, and boy did I hate it. I did the longer distance races, and running long distances on tracks is one of the most mentally and physically exhausting things you could ever do.
NY State testing also started this week. We've been taking tests all day long and doing nothing else. This is when school begins to bother me. School is so inactive, boring, and stressful. People only enjoy school when there at lunch eating. School lunches are yet another thing that bothers me so deeply. I always bring my lunch from home for 2 reasons.
1. School lunches are disgusting
2. They are unhealthy
If the U.S. wants to solve it's obesity problem, the U.S. could start with proper health and nutrition education, and better lunch programs. You walk into the lunchroom and you see tons of ice cream, muffins, desserts, and unhealthy snacks. The main meal is normally unhealthy as well. People need to realize that this food is pre-made, frozen, and shipped thousands of miles to get into the mouths of the students at school. The food is salty, fattening, and loaded with sugar. The meat comes from cows that are abused and fed hormones. The chickens are fed hormones as well. If there was an organic lunch program that would probably be a good place to start.
Piano lesson tomorrow, then another track meet on Friday. Jalapeno eating contest on Saturday WooHoo!!!
