Obstacles

Living in Winnipeg can be a bit of a drag sometimes. We are midway through March and mother nature has decided to surprise us with a little blizzard. My plan was to begin running soon, however the streets are once again full of snow. This puts me in a interesting situation. I'm thinking I will need to begin going to an indoor track so that I do not fall behind schedule. I am also realizing that I will need to work around three big trips that I am going on this semester. Our school Mexico trip, a band/art trip to  New York as well as volleyball nationals in Edmonton. For me these trips offer nice little break ups in the case that I might be struggling, I just hope they do not set me back like the snowfall already has. At this point I really need spring to arrive.

Intro

Howdy y'all,
My name is Colin and this is a blog for my passion project. What is a passion project you might say?
Well this semester in grade 11 Bible class we have been assigned to either produce a product or accomplish goals that we think we can become passionate about and achieve in the remainder of the school year. Perhaps you have clued in and already discovered what my project is about... If you guessed running, gold star for you.
Yes, I want to start running and to be honest it's something I've never really enjoyed or been very good at, but I'm feeling the challenge and there's no turning back now. Now I've always been a pretty athletic kid, but I think sometimes I fall under the 'lazy' category, through the goals ill be setting I hope to improve on my overall cardio so that I can feel more satisfied with my athletic ability and my general health by establishing a solid habit.
Throughout the semester I hope to not only to become a stronger, faster runner, but I also plan to educate myself on the benefits that running has on the human body.
In my blog I hope to share with you why running is important, some helpful videos, running playlists and of course my progress.
Wish me luck!
