HONK HONK!

These are my friends Melody and Malia. The reason we look so happy is because Mel and I have just completed our run after practice. Our JV blue coach, Keahi Kahana, is a firm believer in conditioning and training. He even rides his moped and honks at us as we run up the hill. For the past 5 running days, we have been running Keku loop fartleks. This running before practice is an example of kinematics. Kinematics is the study of motion. In class, we have learned about speed, velocity, distance and displacement. Every running day, we run 8 Keku loop fartleks. Distance is defined as the space between two points. The total distance of 8 fartleks is approximately 1.5 miles. Displacement is defined as change in position. The total displacement of our run is 0 miles. Although the total distance is 1.5 miles, the displacement is 0 miles because we return to the same place that we started after every lap.
