Silent Running

warm-up sessions, just prior to game play, as well as game performance on the field. The players were only able to remain focused for short periods of time. However, they do have the ability to follow simple instructions like running to the line, picking up a ball, and running back. Waiting their turn was challenging though. Many of the players wanted to either go first, which meant they pushed their way in front, or they ran off to do something else while waiting their turn. Both the 4-year…

pulling a board and adding weight by weight, upon mile per mile. This simulates an Iditarod sled. Allowing them to grow and get used to multiple miles of running and multiple pounds of material at once. Mushers will also track when the dogs slow down or begin to get tired.…

Running from the Fitness Center, none of us expected to gain a teammate on our run. No one guessed that this teammate would unify us and solidify our brotherhood. After passing the Keeter Center on our long run, we slowed to decide where to run. “Misty Richards!” I howled, intending the comment to serve as a satirical joke. Misty Richards, one of Loyal’s favorite routes, consists of a few miles running downhill, then running the entire route backward, going up instead of down, and ending at the…

or ropes, but rather tightly laced running shoes and bursting calf muscles. The one thing that drove me to this torture was the only thing that could drive me to do anything I am uncomfortable with, which is my desire to be a good student. When I first found out as a naïve eighth grader that I had to run in a certain time to make an A, I was determined to simply force my body to obey the command to run fast. I knew so little about the science and art of running, and this became apparent to me…

our coaches made us to a running exercise that lasted about 15 minutes. We had to run fast up and down the stairs, and whoever walked would have to spend more time doing the workout. I was the only person on the team that actually ran long mileage before basketball season. I was in a sport called cross country, and all we did in that sport was run long distances on roads or golf courses. So I was used to running hard during practice and was up with the seniors when running our…

Ancient Olympics: How does it compare to the Modern Olympics? I am a twenty-four year old Olympian from Columbia, South Carolina and I am currently practicing for the 2016 Olympics which starts in 2 months. I will practice at Brazil, so I can be adapted to the conditions in Brazil for the Olympics. I will participate in the decathlon to try to win a gold medal; I got third place last time in London. I have always wondered how the Ancient Olympics would have been. Maybe the early Olympians…

would not clearly depict who I am without my most prominent talent and interest: running. I define myself through my passion for running and my everlasting drive for success which I apply to all aspects of my life. To be a successful runner takes exhaustive dedication. Running has shown me what it means to achieve a goal. Hard work is the direct causation of reward, however, gratification is delayed in the running world. Unlike in any…

After the trial, Maycome starts to settle back down, but Ewell is still mad. It was obvious that even though Tom was sent to jail, Ewell’s story was not the true events that transpired. Ewell wants to settle the score. He did this by spooking Judge Taylor and “chunking” Helen. But Ewell was once again put in his place by Mr. Link. The Halloween season had come the Maycome, and spooks were arisen. Spooks like the wicked children who snuck into Misses Tutti and Frutti’s house and hid all…
