Running the Tierrasanta 5k

This weekend I ran the Tierrasanta 5k with my friend.  A 5k is 3.1 miles.  We ran the race in 29:53 minutes.  The race was hard, because the course had a big uphill section.  It was also fun.

Basketball Practice Will Help With My Overall Fitness

I've been playing basketball since I was 4, and its one of the reasons I'm fit.  I like playing basketball with my friends, we have a good time.  Basketball will help me with my mile goal because we run a lot and I have multiple games most weekends.

My 1st Timed Mile

This was my 1st timed mile run.  I didn't think that running the mile would be easy or that my time would be that fast.  

Getting Started - Why I Choose My Project

My name is Dean Hudson (#36).  My older brother Jack (#38) and I have been competing since the day I started walking.  He's 5 1/2 years older than me so I don't win at much.  When I had to pick a topic for a year long project I decided that training to run faster was a good long term goal.  With the added bonus that it might help me finally beat my brother at something.  He currently holds the 2nd place mile record for 6th graders at Challenger Middle School.  If I train for all of 5th grade, I just might be able to beat his record when I get to Challenger next year.
