Around 1:00 I started to do a bit of schoolwork I had, so I did that. I rested a bit more and then I did some requirements for around half and hour since I had to catch up. I ate dinner later and then finished up the rest of the homework I had and went to sleep.

Today I woke up around my usual time and got to work doing even more pushups before going to school. Today at school we had a pretty big science test so on the bus ride I prepared for that. After school I ate a light snack before going to King Tiger. I helped out today for some credit and did the sparring class.

After school I went home ate some chips and a bit of my birthday cake, after that I relaxed for an hour before preparing for my science test tomorrow. I prepared for an hour and then took a break. Since I was pretty behind for like 2 days because of my injuries, I decided that if I couldn't do any leg excersizes I might as well do some push-ups. I did 4 minutes of push ups 4 times so 16 minutes. My arms were pretty tired so I rested for like 25 minutes and ate dinner. After...

Today I woke up early in the morning at around 7. Although I couldn't really do any exersizes other than pushups because I hurt my ankle while doing jump ropes yesterday. After I went to school and in PE while we were playing ultimate football I dived to make a catch but since the grass was still wet I slipped while doing so and fell on my knee which hurt really bad so I could barely walk pretty much the whole day. I also had 2 tests, On 1 I got an 100 and we didn't get the score for the other one yet. After I got home I relaxed because my knee was still pretty badly injured and that's what I did the whole time. My mom applied some treatment which hopefully makes it better tomorrow. Anyways good night!

After that we headed to the party and I met with all my friends which was really fun, we played soccer too, and had a good time.

My dad also said that the reason I cant beat my first mile even though I'm improving is because I have to run on a straight hill so it takes a few seconds to turn around. I was glad because When I first started running on the hill I got a time of 11 something and now I am 9:18. Anyways I developed a new strategy for me. At first I went just pretty much slow the whole time and still had a decent amount of energy after my run. This time though in the first 0.10 miles I ran a pace of 8:18 and I stuck as much as I could to that pace I...

I felt really bad for it since it died but I also got to see my first ever rabbit heart and organs. They were pretty disgusting thought and the smell the one of the worst smells I've ever smelled.
