introduction

This year I once again shall do a passion project in school but decided to spend time/make time for an activity that I love doing and have wanted to do more of, however just didn't make myself.
I chose to do running for a variety of reasons. Running is one of the things that I know is good for me health-wise,  I enjoy doing it (well not starting but once I get into it,) plus I probably do not run enough. It also gives me much needed yet rare time outside. Also, it gives me the opportunity to set clear goals that I can work towards and self motivate... plus it takes me away from homework for just a bit too! Essentially, the plan at this point for my project is to run regularly, build up my endurance, speed, and the distance that I can run for. In this process, I also hope to learn the why of running - what are the benefits and how can one improve or better the effects of running for them (eg. when to run, interval running, what to do before/after running, etc.)
I often go jogging with my sister so I'm anticipating spending time with her while doing an activity we both enjoy. We both got into running from a younger age when my mom encouraged (or forced) us to go every other day. Rather than protesting like I used to, now I go out on my own. She shall be my mentor for this project now, since she can remind me to follow my schedule and even come along the occasional time. I am definitely looking forward to seeing where this project takes me... hoping it shall be far!
