P.E. and my Dream of being a Varsity Athlete : 31



March 26, 1994
Yesterday at P.E., I played basketball, I did really good, I can't shoot, but when playing with my equals, I'm a good guard, I think I may have potential.  And by my gruesome playing, I've begun to earn the respect of Lise.  If I can get her to like me, then that whole group of girls will be more accepting of me, which will make my life a lot nicer here.  I really love to play basketball, I'm on my class's team, maybe I can be good enough to try out for the team when I return to LJHS.  It's such a fun sport.  I need to learn how to shoot though.

On Thursday I ran 4 miles, it took me a long time but I'm quite proud, and beside being tired, I wasn't sore at all the next day.  I need to get some uphill and downhill, but in Paraguay, I think that might be impossible.  Oh well, If I can build up my endurance real well, the strength for hills can come quickly.  It's just a matter of running Calle del Oro twice a week as soon as I get home!  Joy, I'll need some good music for that!  Or conversation.  Just remember, as soon as you return, you'll always be able to find someone to run with you (you'll always be able to run w/ someone who will challenge you!).  Just keep at the basics now, and you'll be able to soar come September.

Bad news, I'm getting fat and my watch broke.
