Rum-running

Have you ever felt like you’re being watched over or something is just willing to take over your life?Well i’m quinn, I was 13 years old and this is what happened. Waking up to the sound of my little brother running down the hallway roaring like a dinosaur, as I get off my bed I get ready for school. I walked downstairs to go eat breakfast, as I am making myself breakfast my brother decides to make his own but that didn’t work out so good as he spilled milk all…

It all started in the high school cafeteria in July. A boy named Carmen and his girlfriend were eating a ham sandwich at a table. And then they noticed a pack of bullies going towards them and they went up to them and said “Hey” “What do you guys want from me? Going to steal my girlfriend huh?” Carmen questioned.

I heard the gun go off, and off I ran. I tried to keep a steady pace as we rounded the first corner of the trail. A group of girls began to surround me and I could feel myself getting squished in the pack. Quickly, I pushed my way through the pack and ran faster to catch up with the girl in first place so far. We carried on, I felt my legs start to give out before we reached the one-mile mark. My legs told me to slow down, my muscles felt like they were going to collapse. Then I felt my body…

The sun is bearing down on me and my lungs hurt from taking in so much oxygen. My legs are about to give out, but the yellow finish line is only a couple of feet away. My rival runs with the same amount of force, not giving me even the slightest chance of hesitation. I have to beat him and that has been my goal for many years. I ignore the exhaustion, the weight of moving my body, and the pain in my feet; I sprint and finally, I feel the line press against my stomach and then the loosening of it…

through country after another trying to run around the world two times in a row without stopping nearly dying every time I needed to sleep. As I continued on my second journey around the world I began to wonder what I would do after I was finished running. At first I came up with a simple answer like sleep or eat a burger, but the more I thought about simple things or things I would do next in my life I realized I had no clue. Around the time I reached the edge of Japan I felt exhausted and like…

The gun shot in the air and I ran as fast as I could. As soon as I passed the starting line, the chip on my shoe started running the clock; timing how long it would take for me to make it to the finish line. I had trained for this very day in which I would run for the half marathon. Having had run several five kilometer races I never thought I would have doubled the miles. Blood circulating in and out of my heart faster and faster I could not feel my legs. I ran without acknowledging that I…

During my experience dealing with running and the many ways to track the statistics of each run, I came across the Garmin GPS watches and quickly utilized their abilities. Like any other producer, Garmin did not just make one model so I will compare their most popular watches, the Garmin Forerunner 225 and the Forerunner 10. The cost is the first thing people many runners look at. The Forerunner 10 is $129.99, while the cost of the Forerunner 225 is $299.99. Next, we will look at the size of…

Terra says, “What do we do now, Amethyst”? “I don’t know yet. let’s just kill the monster”. I said,. First Justin threw his spear at the monster's eyes so it…

During the four week fitness log I was able to achieve most of my goals. The first goal I achieved was being able to lift 115 lbs on the leg extension. I accomplished this goal within the first two weeks. By the end of week three, I slowly made my way to 10 reps of 115 lbs constantly. I believe that doing squats, wall-sit, and other leg workouts increased my ability to achieve the goal. I was unable to achieve my second goal because I set my standards too high. I was only able to run 3-6 minutes…
