Who are The Spartans?
Young boys at the age 7, left their family’s and trained for war. They grew long hair and had no luxuries. Finally the young Spartans learned how to be a Policeman then a Soldier’s.
The Spartans fought all the time for themselves or other city's that would pay them. They captured Men and women to work at the fields and farms and they were helots
Women of Sparta were really tough and they feasted on their sons if they were defeated. And celebrated if their sons win the battle.

Around the Bays 2011
Yesterday there was a marathon around the the bays in Mission Bay , Around the bays is when people run 8ks for fitness. Abundance of people were there and I didn’t know anyone apart from Lorenzo! I looked at the clock and we had ten minutes left and I was timouris.
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, BOOM!!! The cannon shot out gun powder and off we went. We ran with excitement in us! Suddenly I stumbled over the rocks on the ground and I got back up and kept running. Me and Lorenzo looked straight ahead and saw the first water station “Yaaaaay” We had a couple of drinks.
We’re over the bridge and finished our drinks, me and Lorenzo hit halfway and we started to fell tired and we really wanted some water. So I speeded up to see if I could see some water and I did. “Lorenzo I found some water!” I shouted out, But it was cold juice even better!! After that We got to Mission Bay and we went though a shortcut in the sand.... “I'll run in the water” I said,so I ran through and my shoes were soaking.
Finally me and Lorenzo were close. We were really puffed out! Some kids tried to bet me but I just gassed it at the end and they got beaten and my time was 47 minutes.
