Silent Running

Irrational Delirium Scars I had just finished running laps in my fifth grade gym class, so I walked to go sit in the middle in the gym, like we always do after we run. I went to sit near my friend. Everyone had finished running laps at that point, and the teacher had started talking. Suddenly, the ground under me didn’t feel so steady anymore. I started to become nervous. I gasped as black specks appeared in my vision while trying to blink them away. My friend was asking me if I was okay, and…

Running seems to be a pretty straightforward sport where the runners use the exercise as a way to get fit or lose weight, join marathons, or both. However, there are different types of running that you can choose from—it depends on what you’re trying to achieve in running. Improved endurance, strength and speed are just some benefits you can gain from running regularly. Knowledge on the types or running can be advantageous in choosing what fits your needs depending on what you want to improve at…

Gallupville. It was a small town and it was kind of like a circle. I would walk down a road, then I would turn left, go straight that road, then turn right, and I was right back where I started. While I was walking I suddenly saw my aunt’s dog, Annie, running down the street. Upon sawing her I immediately yelled her name and ran after her. Annie was an old black and white dog. I can’t remember what breed she was, but I do know that my aunt owed her for as long as I could remember. Whenever…

My greatest accomplishment could be my desire to try something new. Joining track and field and cross country with no previous competitive running experience. The proud feeling of being able to letter in both sports. However, my track time improved by around a minute in each of my three events. So is that my greatest accomplishment? Maybe it is the great improvement in my basketball leadership skills? Being able to receive a varsity letter my first year on the basketball team is another…

that my responsibilities are completed to the best of my ability, and that the commitments I undertake are maintained until they have been fulfilled. My junior year of high school, I joined the cross country and track teams in order to get in better running shape. I immediately found myself thrust into a leadership role, having the fastest times in the mile and the 800m runs – and anchoring the 4x800m relay team. We practiced…

Ultimate is a great sport that requires a ton of skill as well as physical endurance. In middle school, I already knew how to run because I ran cross-country, so the endurance was not difficult too hard for me to master. All the other kids hated the running, but I loved it. I could also swat the disc down on defense like crazy, and I could catch anything in my general vicinity. I achieved the nickname of “The Tower” because I was tall and was strong on both great at defense and catching the…

In this story, I was at my best when I was working with others towards a common goal. Last January, my Boy Scout Troop partook in the Hopewell Klondike Derby. Our troop constructed a sled for the competition and prepared everything we needed in a long black box. In this derby each team is challenged to pull their sled along a course to several stations in which our boy scout skills are tested. Our team did fairly well at quite a lot of the stations, while we struggled on others. Particularly…
