With the sun beating against my back, I ran through the narrow path, my breaths heavy and jagged. This was my first time running an obstacle course, and the different stations, from rope climbing to log jumping, had left me exhausted. My squad members had started to notice me struggling, but instead of running past me, they started to shout encouragements and cheer me on. Though I was drained of energy by the time I reached the finish line, I was overflowing with appreciation. My squad members

a 2 miler for sure. I can run a solid mile, but I think I will excel this year more in the 2 mile. However I do have some leg speed. I ran the 800 in a dual meet once this season and ran 2:06. Track compared to xc I think I am more of a track guy. Cross country this season I am looking to run 15:50. Where as track I'm looking to run 9:20. Which in my opinion is a more impressive time. Currently the highest mileage I've gotten up to is 70 miles a week. I got started running because I had a friend who

races I had ever run. This was the race we had all been training for. This was what we’ve been looking forward to for the past year, and we blew it. My team and I were devastated with our performance. We had raced really well in the last three cross-country meets prior to Regionals. We had high hopes for placing well in our region, and maybe had a small chance of continuing to State. To qualify for the State Meet we’d have to place fourth or better as a team at Regionals. Our coach expected our

many passions. Your passion drives you to be the person you are today. I believe for you to get a better understanding of myself you need to know what I live for, and that is running. The last ten years of my life have revolved around the sport of cross country and track and I have literally put my blood, sweat, and tears into distance running. I better start at the beginning though. The morning of August, 28th, I was born in Perham, Minnesota, about 75 miles east down Highway 10. I have

My 20time is on running. In sixth grade I tried out for track, hoping I will be fast enough and would make it. But it didn't turn out that way. It was at lunch with all my friends when I checked the track website and didn't see the name, Carly Jakob, on the list. I was so shocked i started bawling my eyes out. After this traumatizing day I made a goal that I will make the track team when i'm in eighth grade. To do this I knew I had to make many drastic changes. I changed my diet to proper eating

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

Participating in track and field has been an activity I have done since I was a little girl. I ran in AAU track meets during grade school, was a member of the junior high track team, and am a member of the high school track team. Since I have always been perceived as one of the quickest girls, sprinting has been my strongest event. As I started competing in school track, however, my track coach thought I would be a better long-distance runner. After several years, we came to a compromise of running

twisted ankle, etc. But imagine running a 5k with these injuries- along with cerebral palsy. Renowned sports writer Rick Reilly captures the moment Hanna High junior Ben Comen, who’s body is wrecked by cerebral palsy, crosses the finish line of his cross country race in the piece ”Worth the Wait”, written in 2003. Flagged by his teammates opponents, and even the girl’s team Ben tumbles in a last ditch effort across the line to the screams of the crowd. It’s near impossible to imagine what it’s like
