Barefoot running

Ultimate is a great sport that requires a ton of skill as well as physical endurance. In middle school, I already knew how to run because I ran cross-country, so the endurance was not difficult too hard for me to master. All the other kids hated the running, but I loved it. I could also swat the disc down on defense like crazy, and I could catch anything in my general vicinity. I achieved the nickname of “The Tower” because I was tall and was strong on both great at defense and catching the…

In this story, I was at my best when I was working with others towards a common goal. Last January, my Boy Scout Troop partook in the Hopewell Klondike Derby. Our troop constructed a sled for the competition and prepared everything we needed in a long black box. In this derby each team is challenged to pull their sled along a course to several stations in which our boy scout skills are tested. Our team did fairly well at quite a lot of the stations, while we struggled on others. Particularly…

subject, because when a great song you love comes on, when a person is jogging, they well become more amped or pumped, and start to jog better or even start to run when the song comes on. The main theory I have is this, “Why is it that one who is running or lifting, they will stop their run/set, just to change their song?” because many questions come into play. 1. When in the middle of a lifting set, why would a person not complete their set, and then proceed to change the song? 2. Mostly, why…

My friend also never gives up on her work, no matter how hard the assignment. Meadow can always be seen working on anything. Also, Meadow is determined to do anything she can, and even things she has no idea she can do. Not only can she be seen running far and working hard, Meadow is always the first person to try to solve friend problems, as she never gives up. She never stops trying to search for solutions for problems that lead to broken friendships, and Meadow never gives up on preventing…

always been a big part of my daily life, but I never imagined that cross country would have such an immense impact on my way of living. I had never even thought about pursuing distance running until my friend, Jared, tried to convince me to join the cross country team in 7th grade. At that time, the thought of running for long periods of time did not seem appealing to me. At first, I did not even consider this notion, but with a couple days of persuasion, I decided that I would give it a try. My…

The track season was the hardest most adrenaline filled thing i’ve ever partook in. Everyday at practice we’d run probably two miles total, and that was just the sprinters. The long distance probably ran four or five. Track meets were always very intense, you could feel the electricity in the air. There was a dash of suspense also, it’s suspenseful because you can only do four events, and track meets were about six to seven hours long, and one sprint event only takes like literally a minute. You…

way to our third cross country meet of the season. The reason I was so nervous was because last meet I had finished 18th overall, or second place sixth grader, and now I felt an overwhelming needed to finish at least 18th overall. Thoughts kept on running through my head like I was pushing so hard last meet! I don’t think it is possible for me to perform as well this meet, I just got lucky last meet and the other runners must have not performed as well, and that’s why…

getting the most out of you running program - then I suggest to you keeping a running log/journal. Keeping a personal journal of your runs helps you track your progress, avoid past drawbacks and even inspire you to tackle new accomplishments. Serious runners leave out no detail of their runs, no wonder they can perform on such a high level. This high level performance comes out from the deeper understanding of which conditions fuel their performance in the first place - running journal is key…

Frozen in fear, I stared at the deadly serpent for a moment. As it slithered into pouncing position, I rapidly spun myself 180 degrees and sprinted toward safety. Running faster than I ever had before, I swiftly cut in and out of trees until I found my way back to the trail and saw my dad. My brother and sister, unaware of the snake, asked why I sprinted back to the path. Breathing heavily and secreting loads of…
