On thursday I had my second cross country race of the year.(on the same course as my first race) I finished 6th of 35 racers with a time of  8: 11. Thats 30 seconds faster than my first race!

        My soccer team had the first 2 games of the season yesterday, we won the first game 4-0 and the second game 6-2.
In the first game one of the parents took stats and found out that we had possession of the ball 69% of the game. (which lasted 70 minutes)
     
         I also have another cross country race on thursday so I will make sure to get some pictures.

I read the next 2 chapters of the hobbit, but I realized that some of you have not read the book so I will let you read it your self and I will just tell you what chapters I have read.

Book 1: The Hobbit

I read the first two chapters of the hobbit today. For anyone who doesn't know, the main character of the book is a hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins. At first Bilbo wants nothing to do with an adventure but in the end he is drawn into the Idea by a wizard named Gandalf and a few Dwarfs. As I read more I will continue to give a quick summery of what I have read for the day.
