Don’t know any good running stretches? Keep reading to find out how to do some really great running stretches to be an awesome runner! To improve your stretches from good to excellent you need to do them daily. Some great stretches are lunges , you take a reasonable step forward and bend down, your knee can’t touch the ground otherwise it will not stretch ,you can also do it with weights if you want. Another good stretch is squatting down (again with weights if you want). Make sure you are doing them properly otherwise it will not affect your strength or running! Make sure you’re doing them daily! If you find it actually helps you might be able enter a triathlon like the Weet-Bix triathlon and when you are older you might be able to do a marathon or an iron man!!!

What is it box?

I cautiously popped the lid off the container. Slowly I put my trembling fingers onto a wooden, smooth and hard object. I shook it carefully, it rebounded off all sides sounding like a cannon being fired.

Writing Snapshot!

My hand went splat onto a metal like object. It was solid rock freezing my hand to death. It was thumping rapidly squeezing the palm of my hand which was wedged in and powerless. I hurled my hand, it was airborne then smacked me firm on the head. With sudden pain it felt like my knuckles broke in half!
