High school running has been a pure individual sport where all different types of athletes come around the world and run. Running in general teaches you how to live a different life style as human. Running in high school is a good competition at a higher level of performance. Runners in school will have joy, challenges, and young runners what might become their lifestyle for the next several decades.

It is hard to imagine my current life without running. I have been doing cross-country and track every year since 5th grade. Every day I look forward to my run refreshing my body and clearing my mind. As of writing this essay, I have run 147 of the past 153 days in training for cross-country. I have trained with the same group of guys for a vast majority of these runs.

Driving by a high school on a warm, Fall day, it is easy to notice all of the athletes. Soccer players are on the soccer field, cross country is running laps around the track, tennis players are practicing on the courts, the football team is in the weight room, and volleyball players have a match in the gym. No matter what sport it is, every high school athlete dedicates countless hours to their sport. Although playing sports is a big time commitment, they teach students important lessons that cannot be learned in a classroom.
I love playing with a team and working with a unit to win games. Each sport occurs at a different time during the year. Wrestling begins half way into November and lasts three quick months of winter. In the contrary, football begins at the start of the summer and goes to the end of the fall. Summer workouts for football are essential to attend to actually have a shot of earning a desired position.
Just when practice seemed to be over, the words “Eagles,” were shouted it would cut down the team’s happiness. Although the training throughout the season would be brutal, and cause a tremendous deal of pain, enduring all of it for the end goal is well worth all the
We are going to be in high school in less than a year! Now, just thinking about it, I am a little nervous. My guts are flipping and flopping if I think about it, just like 5th grade. I better just block it out, or better yet, I just need to find a time machine and skip some of
The enduring feeling of a broken waist, burn through my lungs, and the need for so much water. The failure to run 2 miles bothered me so much. I felt so disappointed in myself. After that, I decided to make it my goal to keep running every day until I could reach the distance without stopping. I literally forced myself to wake up at 6 am just to run.
I witnessed firsthand how procrastinating had made my life and the life of those around me so much harder and stressful than it needed to be. I have struggled with my bad habit of procrastinating for a long time and although it has gotten better, I still haven’t completely overcome it. It’s something that affects my life everyday. Not only that, but it’s a conscious decision I still choose most of the time. It makes my life harder and isn’t beneficial in anyway, but I just can’t seem to stop procrastinating.
I had never ran hurdles before, so I was quite excited. The first time trying it, I ran and jumped. Everything went well; I was quite confident about it. For the second round, I ran and jumped just like the first time, but it didn't turn out like what I had expected. I hit the hurdle and fell down badly.

On the track team we share similar goals in the track and field community. There are a lot of goals too set when you’re on the track team. I and my team all have personal records that we set after a race and when it’s time for the next race we set a goal to beat the last record. We also have the same goal of reaching the state and city championships. Only the best makes it too the championships and it’s our goal to get
Training for a track meet can be easy or it can be hard depending on the way you train yourself. The first step in training is that you need to practice running up and down a steep hill. You can also train by having someone that is way faster than you run against you. I have tried this treatment for myself and all that hard work really did pay off.
As I ran across the finish line for the last time I could not help but smile; all the memories and lessons learned from my years on cross country and track flashed before my eyes. Salem Cross Country and Track has impacted and shaped me into a leader, friend, daughter, and student. The competition and friendship I found on the cross country and track team is amazing and has aided me in personal growth. The challenge of running is something that I have learned to cherish the most during my years as a high schooler as it taught me to always work hard.
