Jogging in the City

My name is Aimee, and I am a runner who lives in the city.

Yesterday morning, I woke up to go for a run. Sometimes I only run two miles, and sometimes I run eight miles. Yesterday, I ran eight miles with some friends.

I made sure to tie my shoes well. I wanted to stay up on my feet!

Sometimes it’s cold and I have to wear a jacket, but yesterday, it was warm and I went running in a t-shirt.

I met with some friends to run around in the city. This is Tom. We ran in a lot of different neighborhoods.

This is an old neighborhood, and we ran through here. What I liked about this neighborhood in the morning yesterday, is that there was very little traffic.

Then, we ran in this neighborhood. This place was nice because we rested on the benches when we got tired.

Then, we ran by the city garden. It felt so peaceful to run by these beautiful flowers in the quiet morning.

Then, we went down the road to the marina, next to the water. It was fun to run there with my friend, Shirley.

Of course, like we do everyday we also ran through the park. As we ran through the park, we noticed how the trees looked so lovely there.

At the end of the run, we stopped and stretched. We found a bench to stretch near the park for about five minutes.

And while we stretched, we were sure to drink water. This is important for runners.
