ALL ABOUT ME
My name is Eamonn and I live in New York in the United States of America. One thing that a lot of people know me for is my running. I have been competing in adult road and cross country races since I was four years old. The first real road race that I did was called the Midnight Run in New York City . It was four miles long and went around the perimeter of Central Park. I did it with my dad and mom. That race was nine years ago and my running has improved a lot since then.
Nowadays I am running 5ks in about eighteen minutes . The longest race that I have done is seven miles long and completely in the woods. It is called the Leatherman’s Loop and takes place in Pound Ridge, New York. It is one of my favorite courses to run and it all happens in April. That race usually starts at nine in the morning and most of the time takes me about 48 minutes to finish. The course has three river crossings in it and goes through some of the most awesome pine forests I have ever seen.
One of the things that I do when I am not running is going out into the woods. When I go out into the woods I usually build forts. It is exciting to build forts because I get to use nature, not man made materials to build things. At the school that I previously went to, we had actually created a village out of little huts, on our own, without any tools. I had made my fort on the edge of our village which allowed me to get the most business. It was really cool mostly because we had thought of and created everything including a small government ( I had gotten the job of town sheriff).
I also take karate and kickboxing. A lot of the time I do both. In karate I am about to become a green belt which is pretty high in ranking. The kickboxing a little harder to do because it is made for grown ups but they always let some kids in. On Saturdays I can even do three workouts in two hours. I start by going to karate for forty five minutes, then I go to the kick boxing class for another forty five minutes, and then to finish it all off my dad and I run about two miles back to our house.
My final hobby is Legos. At home if I have nothing else to do I will just sit there and build these amazing creations. My method for building with them is to get sets, build them, destroy them, and then use those parts to build parts to build other awesome things that just pop out of my mind. I build mostly twelve inch sets. It is cool to let my imagination create different things and then for my hands to build them. The main reason that I like building with Legos is that it lets me escape the real world and go into one of my own creation.
That was just a little about me and what my hobbies are.
