temperatures on winning times in the Boston Marathon. He and his three co-authors, Dr. Abe Miller Rushing, Dr. Nathan Phillips and Dr. Robert Kaufmann, examined the timing of the Boston Marathon runners from the years 1933 to 2004. They found that when warmer temperatures and headwinds occurred the day of the race, the runners were indeed slowed down. The reasoning for this research was to further their focus on climate change from birds and plants to including how the warming climate had an…

everyone ran together down to the 50 meter mark and ran back. This was one of the best parts of the meet. The starters then lined all of the runners up on the line and off they went. Drew had us in a good position and was keeping up with the top pack. When he handed off to me I ran as fast as I could holding our position. Toward the end some of the runners started to catch me so I went all out and held my position. Next went Kobe who struggled due to his back and he ended up dropping some…

FINAL REFLECTION In 2015 I ran in an organized race .I had participated in the Madd Dash, also known as the Strides for Change run near Earl March Secondary School. I’ve recieved an approximate time of 28 minutes when finished running the 5km run. During the day of the run, it was very cold and in the middle of the run it started to hail. In 2016, I ran in the Kanata Race Day event at Richcraft Community center during May. The run was during good and well rounded weather conditions for the…

those who had already finished the marathon. All of a sudden, ahead and into the distance, I saw a runner collapse. As I ran closer and closer to the spot where he had fallen, the sound of sirens and the flashing of red and blue lights quickly drew closer. When they arrived on the scene, he was placed on a stretcher, and then was driven away to be taken care of. Although I felt sympathetic for the runner, my focus was towards the ambulance crew and drive. I really envied the driver and the…

April 3, 2013 – the big weekend had arrived. Kate had been nervous about this race since the moment she found out she was in it. The race was called the challenge of champions. High school champions from Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and other states in the south came to run this race to determine who the best of the best it was. Kate was young and new to the sport of track and field. She only had one season under her belt. She was informed about how competitive this race was. “You…

by the presence of Tyler and Alex, the other seventh grade boys on the team. Before this, the only running I had done was for PE. Even though I should have done more, my preparation over the summer consisted of only one run. I was a relatively good runner, but I hadn’t practiced at all, and my running would reflect on that. The next week, when our practice began, I was back in her room. Sitting in the last row again, I watched as my unfamiliar teammates filed in, one after another. Within ten…

the only runner who never missed a practice my junior year. I saved up seventy dollars for a pair of Saucony track and field shoes, despite the fact that I grew up poor. After a few races, I became the ninth fastest runner, finally beating George, the runner that was faster than me in Physical Education. The full track and field team would practice five days a week, but I felt that was not enough for me to improve. I wanted to have an advantage over others, so I could be the fastest runner…

The car screeched as my mother slowed down to turned off the main road onto my grandparent’s dirt driveway. The top of the trees arched around the beaten dirt road casting a shadow that soon blocked the sun from my view. The feeling of the road tossing our car back and forth like it weigh nothing, caused my stomach to rock. The rocking got so bad my mother slowed down to 15 miles an hour as she navigated her way up to the main house. My grandparents have a chunk of land next to the Whitefish…

“The Road Not Taken” shows his capability of writing his poems about life, as if he was familiar with the origins of the earth. In fact, Robert has lived in various farms throughout his life: Frost has experience in nature’s environment. While living on the Derry farm he was able to write great poems, but at the age of thirty-eight he sold his farm to move to England with his family, and there he arrived with three completed books: two were published in England (Voices and Visions).
