Kathrine Switzer - 1967 Boston Marathon
Two miles into the 1967 Boston Marathon, an official tried to eject Kathrine Switzer from the race simply because she was a woman. Switzer tells producer Phoebe Judge the story about an amateur coach, a feisty official, and a race that helped change running for women in America.This is a pretty awesome sequence of photos.
So recently I’ve started to run about 2 miles everyday.
I’ve refrained myself from eating any bread, tortillas & soda + other junk food
I started running since last week but I started dieting this week and I lost 2lbs already (YAY!)
Even though I am not going to lose as much I want to by Prom (May 19), I am going to be my ideal weight before I get into college which is much more important to me =) (125lbs)
I have to learn to restrain myself; though each time it’s getting easier to control what I eat.
I am counting my calories everyday, and it’s easy for me too see that if I eat junkfood I won’t be able to eat “solid” foods because I’ll go over my daily calories & I’ll still be hungry.
So this makes me choose a healthier life-style because I prefer to eat more of the healthy food that I know will full me up than just a bag of chips or candy etc.
I am so happy with myself, especially because I’ve been running everyday- I am glad I am committing to my health hehe :D
So yesterday, was the friday before SPRING BREAK!<3
It was a short school day consisting of around 35 minute classes which made school end at 12:30.
We rode on Nicole’s car to to go to Red Robin with Ivy, Maya & myself. I of course called shotgun and even though I was tempted to turn up the volume of the car- nicole kept glaring at me…. so I couldn’t touch it haha.
At red Robins I ordered chicken tenders & steak-frites (predictable), I should really order something new that does not play it safe with “chicken” or “fries.”
anyway it was a pleasant time, and I learned that Nicole is going to buy her prom dress!
She’s a tomboy and a bully ):< ahhaha, so I was excited for this moment, though she said she wanted a black dress and I hope she doesn’t or else she’ll deal with me ;D
After we went to watch the HUNGER GAMES ~
it was alright actually, though during the movie it was funny because Maya and I kept laughing, especially at Peeta’s face XD
(Nicole was embarrassed of us too hehe)
we went to Barnes & nobles where we stayed till 7:38 which was troublesome because we went an hour and a half late to our banquet that started at (6:30) .
when we arrived at the place everybody “wowed” at how late we were and we felt embarrassed haha but in the positive side, I tasted Hot & Sour soup (thai style), Meat BBQ, & pad thai which ALL happened to be delicious.
&no I didn’t eat and finish all of that, my friends and I shared our plates =)
at the end we got our “certificates” and watched our tennis video of the season which brought me to tears because that was my last banquet, my last high school tennis season T^T. (definitely continuing in college though)
After we took pictures and went home. Overall it was a nice pleasant day to celebrate the beginning of Spring Break.
P.S I won the Coach’s award, I felt so happy hehe. Though I didn’t want to bring it up when I sat back down with my friends because they didn’t receive anything; I felt really bad especially at Magaly because she was just as passionate about tennis and for four years she received no award. </3
I am proud of you Magaly, you did well this season :)
