Proven Wrong
When your brain tells you to give up, start telling yourself to push harder. It seems like you can’t, but I am here to tell you that you can. The idea of me running cross country seemed so unrealistic only a couple months ago. I can tell you now that I was able to handle it, and, I never gave up.
My first race was extremely nerve wracking and disappointing. I was so anxious before the race that I was almost sick. When I heard the gun go off, I started sprinting. Soon after, I got tired from starting too fast. The problem with that was there was still 1.5 miles left. It was near 100 degrees and I was getting slower by the minute. My legs were so tired they burned. The more I thought, the slower I went. I was so glad to get a glass of water when I crossed the finish line. I felt so bad after my race, but strangely it motivated me.

I started working harder in practice, I started eating better, and I even started focusing more and more. The next race had gone a lot better. I was so happy to be improving, but I needed to keep improving. The harder I worked, the more fun I had. Of course, I had people like Leah to motivate and encourage me throughout the season. If I wouldn’t have had people like her, I probably wouldn’t have gotten to where I am today!
After so much improvement came the end of the season. It was my last race before sections that I had gotten hurt. I finished my race at a time of 22:43. I was so excited to be able to run in sections in two weeks! After that long three mile run, I was so exhausted and I had a sharp pain in my upper shin. I went to the doctor the next week, but they said it was just shin splints. I kept practicing on the bikes and training. The pain became more and more as I would try to walk. I ended up not running at sections due to extreme pain I was
Killing is commanded – Exodus 32:27 – And he told them, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Put your sword on your hip, every one of you! Now go up and down the camp, from gate to gate, and slay your own kinsmen, your friends, and neighbors!”
Freshman cross country runner Elaiza Gallegos has just hurt her achilles running in practice Thursday afternoon. Samantha Carson and Elaiza were going out for a warm-up run and the very first step Elaiza took she felt a pull in her achilles. Elaiza did not want to disappoint her coach and give up on running for the day. She continued with practice and that day they were running cemeteries. The following day she was unable to attend her meet in Center, Colorado because she could barely put pressure on her foot. The Centennial coaches and her mom did not want her to get hurt any further. Coach Fidel Sanchez said,” I want to make sure that my runners do not hurt themselves anymore and make sure that they will be healthy enough to run at regionals.
Greater lawrence, pass him, Sprint. So i finish on the floor dying couldn’t breath properly so i deep breaths and needed water my mouth was dry. After the race was over needed time to process like what happen in the beginning i knew we’re going to face greater lowell next week needed to be prepared for the time being. I needed to fix on my start so i don’t have to be the hero. I need to work on is my breathing it didn’t go so well and how to keep a pace with someone so i won’t lose the guy and cost the team some points if i do that well i’m gold. I needed to workout my legs so they won’t hurt during in races. The most important i have to do is keep my body calm and mind during the race next week. I knew in my next race it’s not all about having speed and it was mostly having a good mentality. So i work on a one week later race against greater lowell again i have done better which i did before at least i had the knowledge of the course to back that up it was a great
When the stakes are high and completion is close, you have to find something deep down that know one else has, and that is heart. You soon realize that your best is not your best, and that you can always reach a new level of greatness. Countlessly, we believe that it is impossible to to aim higher, but that is where we go mentally weak. Every season, I set a goal to run a certain time by state, and work hard until I conquer it. When I am in a race, and I'm dying of pain, my goal seems to get harder to reach by the second, but that is when you dig deeper than you ever have. Falling on the ground in tears because you did the absolute best you could, despite the pain, is much greater than falling on the ground in tears because you wish you would
I ran as fast as I could, I was tired but knew that I had to keep going. The sun shone down ferociously making it very bright and torrid. I felt sweat drip from just above my brow into my right eye. My eye began to get a burning sensation just as I turned the corner. My muscles ached, but I knew I had to shift into overdrive and pick up the pace. I started to run faster and faster. I began to get the feeling like I was about to throw up, but knew that I couldn’t stop now. I continued to sprint to the finish, and just as I crossed the finish line I looked to the clock and noticed that I set a new PR. The feeling of happiness that swelled up inside me took me back to the practice on the tuesday of the previous week: That day it was hot as fire
So she made a plan, to spend time working on her weak areas like swimming and biking and also to perfect small details a newbie would miss like transitioning, changing her wetsuit, etc. She realized that she had to boost herself to be an all rounded athlete- to swim at a competitive pace and to bike faster in addition to being a well paced runner. In total become a jack of all! I am sure you remember the quote “Jack of all, master of none!”
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
In sixth grade I quit the school band in the middle of my third year to join Running Club. The goal of Running Club was to run a 5k after weeks of practice and I accepted the challenge. Throughout the duration of training, I would find the long runs consistently demanding and a test to my motivation to persevere in the club. One of the coaches, Miss. Ames, was my teacher from the previous year and she ran with me during practice. She constantly encouraged me to push myself a little more every run and to keep practicing. I was frustrated with my performance, but Miss. Ames continued to encourage me. Nevertheless, preparing for that 5k was an eye-opening and an overall amazing experience.
My throat was parched instantly. Knowing that I had to stay with Shelby. Repetitively telling myself that I could do it, I have to. Once I arrived at the mile mark before I knew it. I was searching all over but I could not see Shelby. Second guessing that she was ahead of me, I worked even harder. The wind was strong and the air was dirty. For a minute I was thinking that I could not do it; however, I changed that thought quickly after I saw the finish line. Pushing the hardest I had ever pushed. Noticing that I had made it, I placed 81st in
You have to block that out, listen to the whisper that says “I CAN”. That’s when you push harder,defeat the doubt, and let hope arise. That my friend, is when you surprise yourself. Sure, crossing the finish line after 6.2 miles is a joyful moment, but my favorite part is the process. The sweat, heavy breathing, calf cramping, gut wrenching weak moments.
Sweat dripping from your chin, oxygen hard to find, legs feeling numb, eyesight blurred, dizziness setting in, coaches going crazy with words of encouragement and the finish line is only a few feet away. The final stretch is here and all you have to do is catch up to the kid running inches in front of you. You feel like every breath is your last, as your stride gets you that much closer to your opponent. Running out of space, moving legs at turbo speed and doing all you can to catch that kid. Your stomach feels as though as it is on fire, as you get a step the kid. Now you have to pass him and maintain your distance. You can hear the parents screaming your name, motivating you to run even faster. Now the finish is right there, with the adrenaline keeping you going you push yourself through the finish line. Once you pass it you can feel nothing, but your heart pounding like a drum against your chest. You can taste the lactic acid in your mouth, hear the ringing in your ears, see the blur of parents walking up to congratulate you on your efforts. You have done it, you have completed a cross country race.

I got used to it, or so I thought. I started taking my turns faster and getting in race mode. By this time I had calmed down and relaxed. I got to relaxed and got ahead of my self and BAM! I went down jamming my knee between my bike and the hard packed dirt ground. Adrenaline instantly hit me. I felt dizzy from the adrenaline. I could feel it run through my veins like cold blood. I picked up my bike I finished the practice lap and pulled into the pit. I put my bike on the greasy aluminum stand that I had been using for a year. I sat down to calm my nerves. The adrenaline was still there. I tuned my bike up for the race. I sprayed my chain down with a sticky liquid called chain lube. I took out the wrench and tightened my chain. As soon as I changed out of the sweaty clothes and wash the muddy dirt off of my face, I sat by the fire.
I had no experience as a runner nor did I have the form. This did not phase me however. That year I promised myself to push through all the six mile runs, sore legs, gnarly blisters, and at times, lack of oxygen. At every meet and speed workout practice I pushed myself further and further. I set a goal every time I kicked off from the starting line and never let myself get discouraged when I failed. By my senior year, I was the fourth fastest runner on varsity. That year our varsity team won the district meet, which qualified us to run in the 2016 state meet in Oregon. The transformation over the years were evident. My determination to accomplish my goal of becoming a faster runner was complete. If I had simply just given up that first day of practice, I wouldn't have ran along side of the fastest runners in Oregon or have met the multitude of people that are now my closest friends. Having a goal sets one up for a challenge, whether it being physically or mentally, goals keep us active and thinking in more ways than one. Still, if someone has self-control, confidence, and a goal, they are still not complete.
In the United States, the doctrine of attorney-client privilege developed as a result of two major influences: A treatise published by Professor John Wigmore, and the United States Supreme Court.1 Professor Wigmore published his elements of the attorney-client privilege and they are as follows: “(1) Where legal advice of any kind is sought (2) from a professional legal advisor in his capacity as such, (3) the communications relating to that purpose, (4) made in confidence, (5) by the client, (6) are at his instance permanently protected (7) from disclosure by himself or by the legal advisor, (8) except the protection be waived.”2
