like running. Everything around you seems inconsequential. The sounds of your footsteps fade away all your problems and make you feel free. Eventually, you can only hear the sounds of your footsteps and the beating of your heart. There is no way to mess up when you run. Above all, the best feeling while you run is the peace. 2) No one is watching you. As you run you may feel insecure, as if someone is judging you. Not everyone is in the best shape.

Costa Rica Running as fast as I can branches and vines cutting me up, my heart pounding as I jump over a old log, as I hear my hunter in the distance getting closer with every breath.

I had a unique beginning to organized running. I may be one of a very small handful of people that can claim that their first high school cross country practice was on the same day as their first high school cross country race. When I was in middle school, I couldn’t wait to go to high school. Not for the academic opportunities, not for the social prospects, but to play sports. I loved all sports, especially baseball. But, like most athletic minded thirteen-year-olds, my main interests were football

only difference was that i was really nervous for tonight's race, it was on my mind all day.

Running on a full stomach to me is like carrying weights

Running: When some people look at this word, they want to barf by simply thinking about how awful it sounds. Other people take a glance at this word and butterflies form in their stomachs.

Describe a circumstance, obstacle or conflict in your life and the skills and resources you used to resolve it. Did it change you? If so, how? As cross country approached this year, I was ranked as the number one girl on the Prosper High School cross country team. I was super excited about it because of all of the hard work and countless sacrifices I had put in for nine years, but what I was not expecting was lots and lots of drama. I spend a lot of time with the girls on the team from 6AM practices

Once an athlete starts running they never want to stop. Distance running is addicting, with competition that is different from any other sport, athletes will never want to stop improving.

What foods an athlete chooses to consume can drastically affect the way a runner’s body can perform. Before a race an athlete should try to focus on eating

I ran my first track meet at 9 years old. I have loved track and field, and really athletics in general. I have participated in soccer, basketball, tennis, gymnastics, and volleyball. Track and field has impacted my life in three major ways. It has increased my mental toughness, led me to my chosen career field of physical therapy to give back to the community and it has allowed me to participate in NC Powerade State Games. My involvement in track has given me a purpose and influenced every facet

When I first started running for the track team freshman year, I was so innocently-minded and had not noticed a simple demographic difference in the people who tend to run the long-distance events and the sprinting events. My first race, I jogged up to the starting line and looked at my competitors left and right of me who happened to all seem much larger and more experienced than I was. That was all I noticed. A few minutes later one of the girls at the line jokingly said to me with a surprised

I ran in my middle school’s track team for two years. I ran the mile, one hundred meter dash and triple jump. Out of all the events I participated in I absolutely despised the mile, I hated the aftermath the most. The feeling of my lungs burning, legs aching from the long run and the heavy asthmatic breathes. Although the mile had several cons, I loved the challenge and I was too stubborn to quit. The first time i ran the mile was at an away meet against Sayville Middle School, I had been practicing

community. I never thought that running thousands of miles over four years through the same town would mean so much to me. As I reflect on all the moments spent doing what I love, the relationships I have formed stand out most to me. Running has given me my best friends, and my best friends have helped me learn what it means to work hard, to overcome adversity, and to keep a positive attitude. They showed me what it takes to to be an effective leader and captain. Running has definitely influenced my

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.

Short Story July 15th: I just got done with training at my local rink, it sucks. Three days a week I get the wonderful opportunity to get up at 5:30, and bike to the rink a couple of miles away. Which is my favorite thing to do in the morning….I’m just kidding. When I get there I have to warm up by sprinting, and stretching for 15 minutes. Next I have to go in the weight room for an hour or so, and lift weights. Which is my favorite room, it’s so clean…not. It has the white powder that’s used

I would go to track practice to do the sprinter's running workout, and after that join the weightmen to lift. So when I measured myself that day and found that I measured 185 pounds, I was more decided than any time in recent memory to recover my body to what it had been. Activity was the brain thing at
