1. Why did you join Students Run La?

Because I heard in the announcements during 9^th grade that you can run the marathon, and I thought it would be so cool to run it.

1. What was your experience in Students Run La?

I liked my experience in SRLA, I learned to run faster and have more durability. And I had a lot of fun that’s why I came back to run for SRLA again.

1. Would you recommend Students Run La to other students?

I have already recommended SRLA because it’s a good program. I have recommended a lot of my friends and most of them have joined up.

1. What advice would you give to a student running the marathon for the first time?

I would tell them that even though its very tiring the more you run the easier it becomes. And when your in races the run seems to be longer and much more tiring, but just keep in mind that it will be over before you know it.

1. What was your best moment in Students Run La?

When I finished the marathon because it felt like such a relief that, that tiring run was over and I felt really good about myself because not many people can say that they ran the marathon.

1. What was your worst?

My worst moment was when I ran the 18 mile race for the first time (which was in 9^th grade) because my stomach was hurting really badly and I made the mistake of putting on the new running shoes that hadn’t been broken into. So I had big blisters and my finger nails were bleeding I had blood stains on my sock. It was horrible I just wanted to give up and let the late bus pick me up but somehow I ended up beating the late bus and finishing the race.
