Silent Running

Last year was my first year associating with the sport field, I had move from California to Oklahoma. This was an enormous diversification, the countryside was peculiar to what North Hollywood California was. All in all it was more greener, smaller and I perceived that Durant Oklahoma was monumental on the cattle occupation. My first day of school was intimidating because I didn’t know anyone. I went to the office with my parents and I met Mr. Lowry, he helped me choose my classes, by explaining…

The specific skill I choose is jogging a mile (4 laps) on the track. The components of the skills are a proper warm-up, the activity which in this case is jogging 4 laps around an outdoor track, and cool down. I usually start my run around 6-7 PM and the sun has already set by then. Script: Imagine a dark sky, look up at the moon if it’s out today, see the outdoor field and the black track, feel yourself walking down the steps to where the steps end and the track begins. You can feel the track…

picked us all up at our houses, took us to a gas station, and got us food. We all got something light so we wouldn’t get stomach aches during our race. Then after we got our food, we drove off to the course we were going to run on. The ride there was silent, some people slept and some people drank about four or five water bottles. I went up to the front of our van, and I asked her why. She explained to me…

last lap at the state cross country meet. That was the moment when I knew I could finish this race with a personal record. For five months, I had worked hard to qualify for state. When most kids were sleeping, I was running. When most kids were at the pool on hot summer days, I was running. It wasn’t just me though, I was on a team of nineteen fantastic girls and I had a great coach to keep me motivated. We were a close group of girls, whom would not have been friends without cross country. We…

Greetings classmates, A 3 mile run from my house is a historic place that was settled by the Timucua Indians, French and Spanish explorers. The run takes place on mostly shaded sidewalk with some dappled sunlight. Occasionally, I will have my iPhone with me for music and tracking purposes but sometimes I don’t bring it. There are rarely other runners when I run. The run there and back is a time of reflection to gain focus and clarity about the coming events. There is a Theodore Roosevelt Trail…

Running has been apart of my life ever since I can remember, my mom and my grandmother have inspired me so much with this sport. It all started when I won my first race in third grade, that was the moment when I really fell in love with running. My sophomore year of cross country is when my running career came to a stop because of my shin hurting, at first I thought it was just shin splints because I had been running hard for the two weeks prior. Then the pain lasted for three weeks and…

Arrived at 6:28. Today our PT was individual runs. The weather was cool, but not cold, and was thus perfect for running outdoors. I tried to keep up with Duck and Steele, and managed to do so for the first half fo the run. My goal is always to make it to the halfway point without having to slow down to a walk. I achieved this goal, but was feeling short of breath. I shortened my walking stints as short as possible, and only did so twice. As usual, I finished strong with a sprint to the finish.…

sprinter and a relay so I had to deal with passing off and getting the button while running. I also had to work with stilts I think that's what they are called well I had to put them so they felt comfortable and be easier to run out of. We did this about every practice.…

begin sprinting to the first hurdle that signifies who is running the fastest; I’m shaking; my heart is pounding out of my chest; I feel the sweat dripping down my face already; I think of nothing but my breath and my speed; I begin to feel numb. By the 200 meter mark, I tap into the last ounce of energy left in me to give a last kick to bring me to full speed. I’m at the last hurdle, and I can barely feel my legs, but I have to keep running, only another 10 meters until I cross the finish line.…

“You must expect great things from yourself before you can do them” ( Michael Jordan). Did you know most sports are based on running?
