Running amok

change I chose to implement for fourteen days was daily exercise. In high school, I was very good at running for long periods of time. I could run 2 miles in under 16 minutes and not have to take walking breaks during my running period. Most importantly, I used to work out everyday and tried to better myself. I got a concussion from cheerleading at the of 2015 and I took a break from sports and running because of my injury. Ever since then, I haven’t been able to run like I could before my…

My First Spartan Race Wow! I said as I walk to the front desk and see all the races and how long they are. There was a 17 mile race that my dad was doing with obstacles! And my dad looked at me with a smile on his face. Me my sister and my dad drove for 8 hours to South Carolina in a tiny green car that looked like a lime color and could sit 4 people. My 14 year old sister was there and just sat there on her phone while me and my dad talked about the race. All I can ever really see of her is…

a hurry. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. “Trying to not get myself killed here,” in a rush telling myself. It was like a life and death situation. I saw in front of me a huge gap. For I second I thought it was the end for me, but I kept running. There it was only a few feet away and there was a platform on the other side. I knew there was only one way out of this….. 4 Hours Earlier Today “Dude how was detention last week?” as the kid behind me asked. “The usual just…

The three guys that were standing half way out of their cars; two of them holding tazors and one holding a black gun. I didn 't know what I did to get pulled over. All shouting something,…

My senior year in high school I played in one of the most important basketball games of my life. The south state championship game between Wayne County and West Jones was the biggest rivalry game ever. There were so many feelings of emotions running through my veins. Nervousness, fear, and relief were just some of the many feelings that I felt throughout the entire game. As many people know Wayne County and West Jones playing each other in any sport has always been one to remember, and as…

Will I be last to reach the finish line? Is it possible to literally break my leg before the race starts? Runners on your mark, get set, BANG! I had never felt so accomplished as I had after running my first race. Meet after meet, I began to improve little by little. I surprised myself as I began to cut seconds and minutes off of each previous race. Eventually, my coach came to me during practice and gave me a Varsity jersey. Up until that…
