Silent Running

Failure is apart of life, it’s all around us and how you react to it is what makes the difference. When I got to the high school I started to get into going to the gym and lifting. I just started going with friends mostly for football. I really started to get into it during the second half of my sophomore year and liked the progress I was seeing. In my junior year I then decided to join the powerlifting club at my school. Once I joined the powerlifting club I started having more structured…

started running. I was exhausted but the finishing point was so close. Run! Just run as fast as you can! As I was running I felt something wet and slimy covering my legs, I tried my best to ignore it and keep running but it felt so gross I wanted to stop and check what it was. A few feet away from the finish line I sprinted and passed a couple of people, when I was finished I was proud I was able to keep running. Last year when I signed up for cross country I wasn’t very good at running because…

flees, but Barthalamu and Blue stay behind for a few seconds to check on Tim and Fred. They call an ambulance and Tim and Fred are in a coma from Archimonde. As the ambulance leaves Blue and Barthalamu follow Archimonde's footprints. As they are running they see Archimonde, so they pick up the pace to reach Archimonde. They see Archimonde, but he is just too fast for the boys. This leads to them giving up on finding him for today because it was getting dark. The next day was the first day of…

and the relay race, I needed to work on those this year so I could be able to go to state. The first 800m of the season was the event I was the most focused on. Right before the race I felt all adrenalized and I was ready to get on the track. After running that race, I felt accomplished because it was a really good decent first time. When I heard about my time I began to think about how my time could actually get faster. The week after the track meet I started to get sick and my body was not…

drank away. The water emptied out as i threw the bottle to the ground. “Hey! Come back here you nerd!” yelled someone behind me. I knew it was Tyler, due to it’s low grumpy shout. I kept sprinting as fast as my legs could carry me. My air was running out like a oxygen leak. Finally, i couldn't run any further. Tyler was gaining meters in seconds, closer and closer to where i stood. I looked around to find a place to hide, yet there was none. I could almost hear the pounding footsteps of…

The two runners in front of us ran for Lakewood Catholic Academy and we 20 yards in front of us. As soon as we finished the second part of the rocky terrain of the woods, the finish line was standing 100 yards in front of us. I suddenly began to ignore how obnoxious the fans were until I saw my family standing right next to the finish line. One of the runners and I were still neck and neck until I threw him for a surprise. I sprinted as fast as I could, leaving the runner in my dust. I then…

Without the appropriate running equipment and techniques, one might experience different injuries associated to running. Thus, if you want to go for a run, you need to equip…

the sun coming up through the trees. My every step and leap perfectly timed. My clear mind. All of it… perfect. I love my morning runs, it gives me time to think, to dream. I’m Maddi Claire. I run track. Well, specifically hurdles. I’ve enjoyed running my entire life. I love the feeling of exhilaration I get sprinting down the lane and leaping over each hurdle. The rush, the speed, the determination to win, makes me feel alive. Early every morning I have track practice before school and during…

of the course; she had told me her name, but I didn’t remember it for long. I was too busy zoning in on the race. Eventually, we were in proximity of the largest hill on the course. Knowingly, we entered the realm of the Godzilla of hills whom was running straight toward us. She glanced at me; I glanced back. Then she uttered these words, “You’ll probably lose me on this hill.” At that moment I took a peek up at the hill and at all of the parents around us. After I thought about it, I said,…
