The 4J's Run Reflection

Today was my last 2.6km run with Mr S.W. for the last two years we have been running non-stop every non-raining morning. This has been a huge part of our school for about four years now. At the start of last year, we were told by our teacher that we would be doing this until the cross country was finished but it didn't stop we were running hard out every morning.

 At the start of this year, we had two teachers one teacher Monday, Tuesday (Mr Mc'Auly) and then the other Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (Mr S.W). Originally it was Mr Mc'Auly on Monday and Friday and Mr S.W on the other days, so it was two different teachers both eager to run but telling us that we could do different things on the run, for instance, Mr Mc'Auly told us we could do half if we needed to and Mr S.W told us that we had to do the full way.

After cross country last year we got a day rest but this year Mr S.W chose hard over easy for us. We still couldn't do half or and we still had to do it unless we got a note, that's the only way to get out of it unless it's raining or the teacher can't do it. But we still went hard. Determination got us through the year and it helped us get through our sports training. The run was hard but it helped and that's why it will be missed at Paroa School.
