This is Ani. I just had my first track meet and it was really fun. I did three events - the long jump, the 800 meter run, and the 1500 meter run. 1500 is a mile, and four laps, and 800 is half that. My best jump for the long jump was 8 feet, which surprised me. In the 800, I came in third place out of all the girls, and my time was 3 minutes and 7 seconds. In the 1500, I came in 15th place out of boys and girls, and there were probably about 25 people. My time was 6 minutes and 19 seconds. Here's a picture of me running and a picture of me and my friends, Kelsie and Naomi, after we were done with all of our events.

Dear Ani,
Congratulations!!! Well done!!!
What did you do to prepare for this meet? Do you practice these events regularly even when there isn't a meet coming up soon? Do you change your diet in preparation for meets?
Also, we read all of your book reviews in the Spring Newsletter and we're very impressed with the amount of reading that you do. And, your reviews are very well written and always interesting to read.
Love,
Nana and Papa
Hi Ani,
That is a great picture of you running! I am impressed with how you did in track. Now I am looking forward to hearing about the next track meet on Wednesday.
I am curious too if you try to eat any differently on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Do you stretch out before and after each event? How do you help your body to recover after running your first race before your second race? Raisins or GORP might be good along with water.
love, Gran
