Duty To God

6 Miles - 60 minutes ...or less

Today we did our Duty to God by excercising. The 14-15 year old boys needed to run 3 miles in 30 minutes or less and the 16-18 year old boys needed to run 6 miles in 60 minutes or less. We knew it was going to be tough, but we tried to prepare our minds for what we were about to do. Below is a list of the boys who attempted:

14-15 year olds

• Russell Gray
• Brian

16-18 year olds

• Alex Williams
• Mikey Williams (19 years old)

Leaders

• Ben Hoy
• James LaLanne

Junior and Eric Bravo were there to cheer us on and mark our arms and we ran by so that we could keep count. We ran on the Mission Hills track which meant that 16-18 year olds had to run around the track 24 times and the 14-15 year olds had to run around the track 12 times. There were only 3 who were able to finish what they started.

1. Alex Williams ran 6 miles in about 48 minutes. I think he could have done it in less, but he hung back with me for the first 18-20 laps and then decided to pick up the pace.
2. Brian finished the 3 mile run
3. Ben Hoy (me) finished the fun in about 58 minutes!

It was hard, but it felt good to finish it! Good job to those who completed the task. To those who did not good effort, but we will have to do it another time!

Sorry, but no pictures.
