When most people run up a hill, they slow down. When I see a hill, I speed up and say to myself: “I LOVE hills!” Of course, I don’t really mean it. Nobody’s fond of running up hills, especially on a violently hot day in the middle of August. I
When I first joined cross country I was not fast nor a runner. I was one of the slowest people on the team, but I wanted to get faster and I was determined to improve. Some days we would do a hills workout and I would get to the top of the longest hill and think, “I could just run back to Armstrong right now and be done”. But then, I thought about how if I did another hill, I would get better and some time during a race when there was a big hill I would look at it like it’s nothing. I could go up the hill easily and pass a couple girls. So I would do another hill. Then the next time we did hills I rememberd how many I did the last time and pushed myself to do one more. Through that cross country showed me that I could be faster and tougher than I thought I was if I put in the effort and want it
Boston marathon and 9/11 attacks is the key victim of the crime and terrorism in United State of America. I believe that in each crime and terrorism mostly committed by the illegal immigrant such as murder, robbery, rape and drug deal. During the 9/11, the terrorists were entered into United State as an illegal because of weakness of boarders and immigration security. Based on the U.S government survey it is conducted that criminal and terrorist first enter as illegal immigrant in the country and they develop their plan. It is very serious issue for each country to prevent crime and terrorism in the country. There are many people have to lose their life because of crime and terrorism attacks. I strongly suggest to the U.S. government to increase
The 100th Mile Standing at five feet and nine inches and weighing in at 220 pounds, I was not the typical runner. I was quick on my feet, but at long distances I started huffing and puffing so much I thought I could blow a house down. Since I

Running Cross Country Do I want to join the team or not, do I want to join the team or not. That's what was going through my mind when my mom brought cross country up for the first time. I was going to try out for
I am riding my bicycle through the polder. Lots of things are happening around me. A gull is eating flies right out of the air. A hare spots me and lowers himself trying to look like a bunch of something else. Plovers are chasing away a buzzard. Godwits are shouting against a crow. Frogs are croaking in different tones while drowsing on water plants. Fish are having fun with each other putting up their dorsal fins on and off. Ducks are leaving the bicycle path because they see me coming. I quit the dyke because there are too many flies above the bicycle path. Being no gull, I do not appreciate them as a snack or meal when they fly in my mouth. A sedge warbler resembling a nuthatch is making a lot of noise. Far too much noise for such a little

Running is one of the most difficult sports a human can pursue. We start running when we're about four years of age. We gain strength and get better until most people level off at a point where they cease trying to improve. There are some individuals, however, who really enjoy the sweat-beating, heart-racing intense workout that enables their bodies to get better until there is no more getting better. It then becomes a test of improving one's abilities to go hard, faster, longer and stronger, with sweat pouring off of you like rain, to make the heart race so fast it could beat a NASCAR driver in a race. Through all that pain comes success and accomplishment.
The course started out with a good inclined mountain trail run/climb and after some time came the first obstacle, which was a climb/jump over four foot hay bales. Just after the first hay bales was net crawl, which I always dread as my hydration pack never fails to get caught up several times in these nets. Just after the net was another hay bale to jump/climb over and then the course continued on up the mountain and in the direct sun light. The trail run continued on for a decent distance and eventually made its way to about a four foot log obstacle to climb/hop over. Only a short trail distance after the course went underneath the Cargo Net climb obstacle (we would see later in the course) and then made its way a short distance later to the
Allan Vallante Mr. N CP Bio Marathon Project 5 April 2015 Marathon Project When the olympics are held in Mexico City, it causes a significant problem for a majority of the runners. The olympics that are held in Mexico City is around 7,000 feet above sea level. Runners train months in advance before going to an event at this type of an altitude. There are certain steps to take when training for the olympics at a higher altitude. There are also scientific factors that play a huge role when training and preparing. Certain vitamins and minerals can play a key role when training also. Altitude can impact a runner significantly, so a runner must prepare properly in order for him to achieve his goals at the olympics.

When most people think of an accomplishment that brought them into adulthood, many would think of their first job, going to college, or even simply receiving good grades in school. For me, my accomplishment has been a work in progress for the last six years. Sports have always been a big part of my life and how I live it. I started running track in 6th grade and have had a strange bond with the sport ever since. A normal person after running their heart out for 50 seconds around the track would naturally want to rollover and puke, but it gives me a feeling inside that I can not put into words. When I first started running track in 6th grade, my times for the 400 meter dash were just over a minute long. Moving on to freshman year I decided
