Cross-country cycling

“Run Forest, Run!” is what we hear people say when we run around the community. I really quite enjoy running on the cross country team for my high school. Running has been a part of who I am for a very long time. As a little kid I would always like to run around my neighborhood chasing people or just running for fun. I was just really active as a kid. What really impacted my life was my first year in middle school. It all started in sixth grade and after sixth grade my passion for running grew. All

I was never the person who would stay for anything for long let alone participate, i especially wasn’t athletic whatsoever, until the middle of my 9th grade year when my best friend moved to San Francisco, this was a turning point in my life. I became depressed and so i joined my school’s Track and Field team. I never enjoyed running nor did it to lose weight but that all didn’t matter when i had to run 6 miles as a warm-up. I have never been trained to do a non-stop mile let alone 6 miles. As the

in the face, I was sweating like a turkey on Christmas Eve. I heard the loud “BANG” of the gun and the pounding of feet all around me, I had to run even though I felt like I was going to throw up the little food I had eaten in preparation. This cross country course was a huge monster ready to take me and all of my hard work throughout the summer down, if I was willing to let it get to me. I sprinted out to the front, however was blocked by several different other varsity girls competing with me. While

Running Last semester I started the sport Cross Country probably the worst sport ever not kidding. My first race I got lost and basically got last and almost passed out. It was 90 degrees and we were running around Valley high school. It was a very boring course to be honest, Plus I didn’t feel good that day, and on top of that it was on a day where we didn’t have school, so three reasons why that was the worst meet ever. My most favorite meet ever was when we went to the Buhl golf course. It

I am 17 years of age. I was born September 14th, 1999. I currently attend Brockton High School. I have had many obstacles Spring track last year I participated in the event Javelin. Notice how I said “participated”, I wasn’t a consistent scorer. But I did try my best, I worked hard at my event and my biggest obstacle was making it to states requirement, its 150.5ft which is pretty far for throwing a spear. On the other hand, I started last year in the season throwing 89ft to 90ft on lucky days. Every

It was a nice sunny bright airy day when Mary was getting stretched out on the rubbery track field in the soft green grass, she could just imagine the “Bang” of the gun with the smell of the smoke from it and the stomping booming of the footsteps to the finish line. After she was done getting her muscles warmed up Mary had gotten a call from her track Coach Stephaney that she will be competing in her first ever track meet. Mary was breath taken. She has been dying to get this news forever. She could

Malloy McGreevy I used to be able to run so fast I could fly. Racing through the woods behind my house I was untouchable, unbeatable; I imagined I was a graceful as a fox and as fast as a deer racing over bushes, logs, and ditches. Running served as an escape from the perfect student, perfect manners persona I adopted in the classroom allowing me to break out of my shy shell and go from being ¨the teacher’s pet¨ to ¨the fast girl.¨ My love of running-- as well as my parents-- drove me to play soccer;

Gunshots, screaming, thumping of footsteps, sweat, heavy-breathing, heat, cold, puking, nerves running crazy--all common sounds and feelings felt by a cross country athlete. Cross country is a nerve-racking sport, along with good times, and making relationships with teammates that will last a lifetime. Some meets are in the afternoon, usually making for a hot, humid day to race. Other meets are in the morning, making for a stiff, chilling-to-the-bone type of run. Either way, each type of climate

This past weekend, 108 entrants set off on a hundred mile race—the fourth annual Pine Creek Challenge. The footrace follows the Pine Creek Trail, a flat, scenic route that still provides ample challenge for the runners. Race director, Steve Hanes, comments, “For me as a race director, it’s great to see people stretching their boundaries...it's great to see people work towards something they might not have even imagined a few years ago, and come out here and accomplish something that's really noteworthy
