4th of July

Today is the 4ht of July!! Today we had a BBQ with our grandma and grandpa Webber from California, but I'm guessing that most of you already knew that. Before all this however, at 6 int he morning, I was awakened by a very loud noise, my sister Kayla, oh what a joy. But luckily I knew why I was being awakened so early in the morning on a Saturday. Kayla, Me, Mom, Dad, and Grandpa were running int he fourth of July 5k. This year my goal was to break thirty. So we start the race and i feel great! I'm just flying through the neighborhood that is familiar from last years fourth of July 5k, but then all of the sudden there she was. KAYLA! She beats me in every race but I was totally focused on beating her this year. So we play tug o war for a while first shes in front, then I'm in front, then shes in front, then I'm in front, ect... So then she says " hey do you wanna walk for a minute or two?" Excited to be included stop after in in front of her and walk with her for a while, then we decided to run together and while we were running i tried to persist her to have us finish together since I was doing so well! She kept saying that she sprints at the end and I said ya I know just let me get a head start and then we can finish together! She kept saying I don't know I am a really fast sprinter and I want to sprint as fast as I can at the end like I always do. We just talked for a while after that and then she said to walk again but I didn't really want to so I just said walk ten paces and then lets run again but it was more like 30 or 40 paces rather then 10. k anyway so we get to the straight away and I see my dad yelling. I immediatly start running my hardest and pushing myself past the limits but Kayla sprints ahead of me as always but we were way close this time! And I made a person best and shaved off about 3 or 4 minutes! My end time was 30.8.6 30 minutes!! I was feeling really good about myself! And just to let you know I took 8th out of many many people and since I just turned 12 I am now racing with the 13 and 14 year olds so I still think I did really good! After we all finished we went over to Kneaders, the best restaurant in this entire world. I ate french toast and then got a mint brownie although grandpa ended up eating all of it. Anyway, my Fourth of July was pretty good! How was yours? Let me know!
