Fell running

track meets, hard work was not the only lesson to learn. Even when you were pushing yourself to defeat the person running at a pace you are not used to, hard work was not the only thing you thought that would make you win the race at the very end. You learn that you must have it in yourself to finish the race. You also see that your whole team is supporting you and shouting your name. Running track was meaningful to me because I was able to learn that your mentality and friendly support can get…

I like running, not for its fitness purpose, but for the calmness it is given me. I like to run at my own pace, and this is a pretty wonderful thing. I used to run a mini marathon with my friends in China and this is the five things that running had taught me. First, I have to overcome some difficulties before reaches my destination. When I planning to run the marathon, the first mile is always the hardest for me. I cannot imagine myself successfully to run to the end. Every step is a challenge…

ran from place to place because I had a patience management problem. I did not like waiting or moving unwillingly slow, but I especially did not like getting somewhere late. Thus, my choice of transportation at the time, due to age limitations, was running. In elementary school, I ran just as much as most kids and just as fast.

How far is pushing yourself over the physical limit? Is there a limit for how hard you should push yourself in competition? Having experienced what happens after pushing myself further than I should, I can describe the state of being physically exhausted. I have only experienced this feeling once: one year ago during my first cross-country meet in Charles City. No matter the situation, I try to achieve as high of result as I can. Whether it be in cross-country, school, or anything else in life,…

the finish line and pick an extracurricular activity or sport to balance the scales. In my case, I needed an outlet to help offset my academic work load and give me something physical and competitive to take my extra energy out on. For me that was running Track & Field.…

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, when I started running, and what I did before that, I don’t feel much like going into it though. In the first place running is a sore subject to talk about, and honestly anyone who has ever raced 5 kilometers doesn’t want to read about it. Don’t get me wrong, I love running, I really do, but it is also one of the worst things you could do. Besides i’m not going to talk you through every race…

Also, about the nonattendance of autos, group, exhaust cloud, movement lights, and black-top. On the other hand, simply ahead and consider those things—each is reason enough to set out toward the slopes. Also, here's another: You'll get fitter quicker by pounding so as to hit the trail than the asphalt. "Trail running is a superior workout for…
