I Believe In Cross Country
Most people don't choose to run for their enjoyment, but I do. It releases some of my frustration when I run. I am 2,250 steps away from the finish line when I begin. I can run all year long. I can run in the winter, the spring, the fall, and the summer. I believe in cross country. Cross country is the best sport ever. I am on the Lake Denoon cross country team and I have had a lot of races over the past three years. When it is time to sign up I try to convince all of my friends to join so I can race with them. Usually the coaches switch up the practices so that the practices aren't boring and I am better prepared for the races. When it is meet day all of my friends are in my race and I get to compete against them. Sometimes the races are

    Commemorative Speech: Everyday Hero By Rhonda Bork

    It took some time, but eventually running became such a big part of my life that I felt incomplete when I didn’t do it. And it’s not just the benefits of running that I enjoy, although there are many. I’ve lost weight. My blood pressure is down. My energy level is up. I look better. I feel better. I sleep better. But on top of all that, I actually love getting out and running. It’s a great excuse to get outside (or into the gym if that’s your preference), listen to music, or just enjoy the…

    Personal Narrative: Saint Joseph Cross Country Team

    In 2008, I was a eight year old and, regrettably, a member of the Saint Joseph Cross Country team. I consistently finished in the last five runners, and despised every moment that I spent training for the race season. Even though I began running cross country in elementary school, I was never a natural. After years, I was allowed to quit. By the time I was a freshman in high school, I had forgotten my hatred of running. After much enticement from my mother - a runner herself - I joined Bowling Green High School’s Cross Country team. Halfway through the first practice, I remembered every reason why I had quit the sport years earlier. Regardless of how much I begged my mom, she insisted that I finish the season. I was stuck with two choices:…

    Personal Narrative: My Santa Barbara Soccer Club White Jersey

    My mother and I have ran lots of 5ks, 6ks and triathlons over the years. My mom says that it is not like any sport, it distracts you from everything around you can run wherever you want whenever you need it. “ It relaxes you” my mom says. Almost everywhere my mom and I run even on vacation. Both my mom and my dad have ran for more than twelve years and still compete in many races. My mom when she was in college got lots of 1st place trophies and ribbons. She used to be like a cheetah beating people left and right. She was on the track team all through highschool and college beating people. She also, did one marathon and will make sure I will do one too.…

    Personal Narrative: Leading The Hilliard Heritage Running Club

    We started small. After talking to some teachers and some friends from cross country and the previous year at track, we found a place to put our stuff and met every other day. I lead our group in many hard workouts to improve our muscles and lung capacity, as well as researched the best stretches and core exersices. We’d even set meetings on weekends. Although, soon I realized that I would need a coach or two to guide us further. I contacted Mrs. Tremayne and set up meeting times where we could go over some permission slips, and dates/times. I got to announce our club on the announcements, as well and got to get T-shirts. Eventually, We met every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday with two great coaches named Coach Tremayne and Coach Erin Luzader who helped us with our workouts and get insight into the next season of track and High School cross country. From circuits to warmups we used to prevent injuries, Running Club made a difference in my, and hopefully other’s lifes. The soul purpose behind creating a club was to make our running become better and to keep ourseleves in shape for the next track season, so we could achieve…

    Personal Narrative: Modified Track And Field

    I have been running since I started Modified Track and Field in the seventh grade. Running has been a part of my life ever since then. When I decided to join track I felt as though it was the worst mistake that I could have ever made, simply because i did not like running as a child. After trying it for the first year and not giving up I enjoyed it very much and that is when I stated that I would continue to run track till I graduated high school. Then came ninth grade and not only did I continue to do Outdoor Track but I also joined Indoor Track and it helped me improve with my running for Outdoor Track. I participated in Soccer from sixth grade till ninth grade, because come tenth grade I realized I had a strong passion for running,…

    Cross Country Research Paper

    The Race Between Cross Country and Track Cross country and track are my two favorite sports. I love running through the woods in cross country and the competitive atmosphere of track. However, I like to run cross country more than I like to run track mainly because cross country has a more interesting running environment. But cross country and track are more similar than most people think. Track and cross country are both extremely similar and yet extremely distinct from one another. Different, but yet similar, in the sense of preparation, practices, meets, and racing. How much preparation an athlete puts in before a meet will affect how well they will perform. For example, in cross country, it is highly recommended that cross country members run over the summer, so they will be in shape by…

    Personal Narrative: Summer Run

    Why would you go to a Camp for running? That's exactly what i was thinking when the varsity cross country guys tried to convince me to go to a Wisconsin running camp. Personally i thought the idea of a running camp was ridiculous, why would i want to pay someone to so they could “teach” me how to run? According to my teammates though, it was worth it to go and “learn” about running. I had never needed anyone to ever really tell me how to run, it had always come naturally and i was fairly self confident in myself when it came to running. The camp turned out to be a lot different from what i expected it to be.The first day that we all were there, the instructors, which were runners on the Wisconsin cross country team, took us out to a park and gave everyone the option of three groups, the slow group, the middle group, and the fast group. I decided that because i had been conditioning at the start of the summer that the fast group would be easy to keep up with, that was a mistake. That first run at the camp was the hardest 4 mile tempo run i've ever done, afterwards i realized i had over estimated how much i had actually trained compared to everyone…

    Cross Country, Then and Now

    For the past six years of my life, I ran for the Eureka Springs High School cross country team. After graduation, I was given the opportunity to run for the Golden Suns cross country team at Arkansas Tech University. In a matter of six months, my cross country experiences and habits were changed. Often times, there are similarities between two subjects such as these, but in this case, only the differences are obvious. There are changes in not only the way that I run, but the team I ran with, the coach I ran under, and the person I am when I run. These changes have caused me to see what I can do as a runner and a college student.…

    Personal Narrative: My First High School Cross Country

    i always heard that cross country happened a dangerous sport, and to me, that was the exciting part about it. As the summer went on, my confidence that I would reach my prime grew undoubtedly stronger every time i would look at at the improvements I did during the summer when getting ready for my first high school cross country season. I finished the summer session of the season and everything went as planned, capturing three amazing races that had me in the top 20 for those meets and I looked good to make regionals that year until one day during practice, all of that would lead downhill. Running after school on a sunny afternoon with the team and getting ready for the city meet, which all of the Brownsville schools would go plus other nearby valley schools, the sun flared its heat in our faces but the wind cooled off our sweat for a refreshing…

    Motocross

    Did you know Motocross is thought to be the most popular kind of motorcycle racing? It was established in Europe during the 1930's and over a period of time it became popular all across the world. The game is made up of forty riders that compete on the same track at one time.A pro race will last around thirty minutes and a amateur race will last about 5 minutes. My name is travis staubs and I have raced motocross for eight years of my life. Today I’m going to talk to you about the importance of gearing up for safety, how to operate the bike, some tips for you to enjoy racing. First you will need the proper gear and that includes: boots, knee pads or braces, chest protector, a helmet, goggles, gloves, and the racing jersey and racing pants. That gear will help protect anyone from seriously becoming injured. Hitting the ground isn’t fun when you do not have any protection on. Second, you need to make sure your bike is ready to ride. Your bike needs to be filled with fuel, have right amount of oil, your spokes need to be tighten, and the brakes work, really just the basic maintenance. Before starting the bike, you need to make sure the gas is on and the choke is on since you havent started the bike in a while.and then pull the kick starter out and kick down on the kick starter a few times and the bike should start. Once the bike has started, put the choke back in and let the engine warm up. It shouldn’t take that long for the bike to get warm.Once its warm, hope on the bike and make sure you have all your gear on. Pull the cluth in and click down on the gear shitfer. The cluth is on the handle bars infront of your left hand. But do not pull the throttle all the way back and take off , you will wreak. You want to ease out the clutch and have little gas to take off. To shift gears and to go faster you need mid rpms and once you do you want to pull the clutch in and shift the gear shitfer up to change gears and when you click down, you go into low gears for low speeds.…
