Senior Project

   For my Senior project I have chosen to run a half-marathon (13.1 miles). Anyone who knows me can tell you I'm a really indecisive person so picking a topic was the hardest part...so far. I am choosing to run a half-marathon because, well in quite honesty I enjoy running. Back in early May I was stressed out (not as much as right now), because I learned I had to pick a topic...soon. Well there went my plan of coming up with one over summer. I felt like I needed to get away from everything so I went on a run, a difficult one. 6.4 miles, and it felt awesome. Yes I was extremely sore the next day but I didn't mind at all. That's when it hit me, I should run for my project! I feel like running is immensely relaxing even if you're sweating like a pig.
   I chose healthy living but more specifically fitness because we as humans engage in some form of exercise in our daily lives whether it's walking to our cars or running on the treadmill. As for my research paper I will talk about the many benefits of exercising and how obesity has increased over the past years. My end product will not only be running the half-marathon but also devising a training plan for others to follow in order to live a healthy lifestyle. I haven't done much for my project. No mentor, ergo no mentor interview. But in order for me to not sound incredibly lazy, over the summer I got up everyday at 6:30 a.m. and ran 3 miles. So in a way I kinda started my project but without mentor "assistance". I should probably get on that soon. For those of you reading this, don't be surprised if I change my research paper topic...it's still in the "works".
