The funniest thing I ever went to bed and we had nothing to do. We saw some scissors and wanted to cut each other's here. Was that laid in the bed with my head sticking out over the foot of the bed. My sister cut right here. Then she laid

I started race walking in 97 to Junior Olympics in Illinois. Walking really isn't that publicized because I think I am one of the only walkers in my age group. You can go as far as you want for as long as you are walking because it is already on. Your hips move from side to side and give you momentum to go faster and to move your legs farther. There are a few rules to war. One rule is you have to have your leg straight at one point all of your motion. The other is you have to have one foot on the ground at all times. The hardest part about race is keeping your stamina and your strength for the

whole race because he takes all you're out of your way. Blind longer races are in any race you want to wear a hat and sunglasses keep the suns out of your eyes and keep the sweat from going down. People think it's a funny motion but it really is all national. A lot of people you know laugh but they really don't know how hard it is. My main goal is really to go to the Olympics for the World Championships. I think I can make it if I really work hard. We tried in the studio with Cameron Gagan did the Junior Olympics but I didn't work very well. We're not even going to try what Marcy Ravitz does so well. My name is Nancy that I saw just yesterday and doing it ever seen.

There is no such thing as a fragile teen. He couldn't change himself back. So he started to tell one. Which means walk in fragile language. But since there is no such thing as fragile. Language and no such word as talent he couldn't do it. Then he started to remember the magic words. He said. Zigzag.
