Reason Why I Run #2: Because it makes me feel like...

I know I’m a bit late with the story, but I had to either wait to take this picture or wait until UC admission letters were out so I can either submit my second personal statement or write this. I have exercise-induced asthma. Before you say anything, I know that a lot of runners have asthma, but it’s always been bad enough to hold me back—way back. Let me begin with my days...

Reason Why I Run #1: Because I'm too lazy not to.

This is my current running inspiration, Helen Diamantides, a truly awesome fell-runner and long distance runner. She ran 220 miles in foul weather over worse terrain in 5 days, and thinking about her accomplishment inspires me to push myself as far as I can. Check out her wiki page.

this is my "inspirational story" :)

I began cross country last year. I had just started running and I could hardly finish 5 miles. My first race was a 25:58. I came in 6th out of 7 on my team. I finished last year’s season with a PR of 24:17. That winter, I decided I wanted to be a good runner. Over the summer this year, I ran about 30 miles a week. I worked hard and I came to love running more than anything else in the world....

My best friend Catherine is a senior and she has been running XC since her freshman year, I was a sophmore and never really ran before. She kept begging me and begging me to join the team but I didn’t really want to because I knew I wasn’t a great runner and I didn’t want to get made fun of for being the slow fat kid. When practices started she got me to go to one and I was...

brinymongoose asked: In 8th grade, awaiting track, I started having seizures. during the next 6 months, I had over 30. The MRIs showed the doctors that I had a brain tumor. I got surgery in 2009, just as summer training my freshman year was beginning. The surgery was successful, and I was seizure free. I came back with no endurance, and was 3rd slowest on a team of over 60. After my earlier successes, running 23...

jimalim320 asked: My first CC race as a freshman timed in at 33 minutes. I ranked 8 of 9 runners on our girls team, I continued to work hard to improve myself as a runner. I came back the next season taking off 3 or 4, occasionally 5, minutes of my times from the previous year. I finished my senior season ranked 3 of 14, my best race at 20:32. Not only did it pay off on the course but I was also given the honor of...
