Running And Running-Personal Narrative

I turned in my form for Running Club by the end of the week and was ready to start running. When training began, we ran a few laps around the school and I noticed as the runs came to be longer, I would become tired sooner. Miss. Ames noticed and ran alongside me. During the runs, we would discuss other topics which would distract me from thinking about my performance in the run. Later on, the coaches would time the runners to see our performance. Being timed increased my irritation with my performance; however, Miss. Ames reminded me that I was making progress regardless of what my

One of the reasons for why I run, is because of the relationships that I have built. The first year that I started to run, I was scared and nervous to try out a sport that I had never previously been involved with, but I was also nervous to open up and meet a bunch of people who already had been running with each other for a

Runners are extremely passionate about their sport. Running brings people a kind of satisfaction that is hard to describe. Enko's hope was to make running a little more comfortable and safer for your joints, and also, give you a boost in speed.

But, over the years and for whatever reason, life got in the way and I forgot what it was that made running so important to me in the

I honestly didn’t like to run until I joined Track and Field. I like track and field. At first i wasn’t going to do track and field until by sibling made me join . I like practice since our group ( long distance) would always be messing around with each and our coach would motivate us to try our hardest. When we would have meets, I would get really nervous before the race. During the race I would like the wind going through my hair and hearing the people cheering. Seeing the finish line would make me sprint the last 100 m and it would make me smile because I was done. I have learned the importance of working together and learn to not give up

Although running may not seem like a big sport like football, basketball or soccer, it takes a lot of courage, heart and strength to be able to run. In the article called “Cool like me” by Donnell Alexander he says, “cool is finding the essential soul, while being essentially lost”. When we feel stressed and feel like we want time for ourselves away from society, running is a solution. Running is not just considered a sport, running is a lifestyle that people choose to live. It makes them feel good, look good and it makes them happy.

As I began my freshman year of high school, I felt compelled to join a sport. I wanted to try something new since I played basketball, baseball, and soccer growing up. So, I decided to join the cross country team. I thought running would be as natural and effortless as it was in other sports. Never had I been more wrong.

It’s nights like this that I have to do everything I can to stop running. The crickets in the far-off pines call to me, singing enticing tales of adventure as the grinning moon lights the way along the gentle slope of the highlands. Even the breeze urges me forward, nipping at my ankles and using the swell of grassy waves to carry me farther

The blazing sun beating down on me, my elevating heart beat, and fellow students lowering my confidence as they soar past me, I continued my journey of running a mile for the absolute first time. Being in fifth grade at the time when I first ran the mile I was a mix of emotions. Initially, I was quite bummed out, but as soon as my ears heard the word “go” my heart filled with joy. I was in the front of the entire group, running as fast as I possibly could. My heart filled with delight, until of course I had realized that my classmates had started to pass me.

It was a bright crisp autumn Texas morning, when I decided to go for a run at a nearby park. Running the trails at the park seems to always give me a tranquil feeling afterwards. It clears my mind and gives me the energy and strength that I may need to conquer everyday obstacles. It makes me appreciate the simple things in life much more which I know at many times I have taken for granted. Runs in the park open up unforeseen opportunities from the beautiful landscape, its natural habitats and all the beauty Mother Nature has blessed us with.

Many people ask me how I can run long distance and why I put myself through so much pain everyday. I tell them, because of the feeling you get after a good workout, a good race, the feeling you get after seeing how much progress you've made, that is why I do what I do. It's the intrinsic reward that I thrive of off and keeps me going. However, I haven't always enjoyed running and I didn't even start distance running until my sophomore year in high school. Before I started distance running, I played volleyball and I always felt like a weakling in on my team. It wasn't until I tried XC the next year, that I started to feel worthy and found something I am good at. A big part of what drives me to run is to be good at something. Running is a sport

Even though I had the talents and desire to run I still had a lot to learn in this support and utilized mentors, one being my father. He always taught me that the mind is pretty powerful thing. He taught me that there would be days when I would feel like I wouldn’t be able to run that extra mile or finish that last interval. I can't tell you how many times a positive attitude has helped me get through situations like that. By telling yourself you can do it, and listening to my coaches.

  My reasons of running and not giving up is because I know that the destructive canine will snarl at me catching up. Many kids my age say they run because they want to be famous or that they strive for riches. I would have to say that I'm a different case.

“Kitster, you barely made it. I want you try to make it here more on time, otherwise, you’ll be fired.”

When I was a freshman on the cross country team, I was just starting out running. I played other sports but found my true passion in running. Running just speaks to me. It is a way for me to release what is in me. From the help of the upper class men and experienced runners I climbed myself to the top. All four years I have been the number one runner for the cross country team at the varsity level. I have earned two most valuable runner awards, been All-County four times, and All-Region three times.
