Students are writing personal narrative essays in class, and they can use this blogpost to continue working on those essays at home. A personal narrative essay is basically a writer’s personal story. In this particular type of essay, students tell their experiences in the hope of captivating the reader’s attention and probably teach a few lessons or help the reader gain a little insight based on another person’s story

Here's some example student essays which will show you what outstanding personal narrative essays look like.

The first four week of this training program were all pretty similar, so I figured I'd save you some boredom and condense weeks 3 and 4 into one blog post. Here's what it looked like on each day in week 3 and 4

Monday: off

Tuesday:
AM: Swim, about 1800 with a mainset of fartlek 100's, done in the long course pool at asphalt green.
PM: Easy bike, about 1 hour.

Wednesday:
PM: Run, about 40 mins with some fartlek bursts peppered in

Thursday:
PM: Brick, about one hour bike plus 20 min run.

Friday:
AM: bike, about an easy hour
PM: about 1800 swim at asphalt green, with a main set of 100's done as 25 hard, 25 easy.

Saturday:
AM: bike, about two hours
PM: run, about 30 mins

Sunday:
AM: swim, with a 1500 straight swim main set
PM: long run. About one hour.

So this was the general pattern of the last four weeks, with the volume slowly building from week 1 through 4. It was nice to get some consistency and some two-a-days back in my life. The next four weeks will have more speed work and intensity, which I am looking forward to. I'm just happy I'm uninjured!
