My Challenge
What does running mean to you? Perhaps running is hard work, pointless pain, and misery. Running means different things to everyone. Running to me it means I need to work hard and get something out of it.
What does a coach mean to you? Maybe it means a mean person that tells you to do things you don’t want to do, like a parent. A coach could be someone you despise because of everything they put you through mentally and physically. To me, a coach is so much more! My coach is like a best friend that pushes me to do better, tells me what I’m doing wrong so I can fix it. My coach is like that one person you feel like you can always go to if you have a problem, the person you feel most comfortable with, and the person you look up to. …show more content…
At the first one, my time for my 400 was a second shorter than my last 400. As soon as Kibbe told me my time a smile formed on my face and it was from ear to ear. She showed how happy she was by smiling right back at me. In that moment I told myself that I would get a better time the next meet. I worked hard at practice, whatever workout Sopko gave the mid-distance group I did with only minor complaining.
The last meet was a conference, I was so excited because that meant I was one step closer to going to state. All I had to do was get a better time than the meet before. Each meet I pushed myself so hard that if I felt like I was going to pass out or throw up, or maybe both, then I did my best. The conference is where I knew I could do it again. I ran my hardest and felt great after it, not right after because I fell to my knees in pain, but after I found out my time I was exhilarated. Do you want to know what my time was? Well, that’s a little personal. Oh well, my time was a 1.04.
I can’t wait for this year, I plan to beat the girls' high school record for the open 400. I learned that pain is sometimes good. The pain that comes after running in an event means I ran my hardest. I’m going to challenge myself to keep doing great things, even after the past
