Starting Again

So I have came to notice that this whole blogging thing isn't so bad.

Spring is fast approaching and the sports have already started. This time last school year I would be out running bases on a softball field, and the year before that I would be running around a track. But this year, I am doing neither. I have always played softball since I was little, starting at the age of 5 and I love it. Only 3 years did I find that I am capable at running long distances. My freshman year I decided to go out for Cross Country and I continued that through my sophomore year. I plan to run throughout high school. But when it comes to my spring sport, I have simply chose to take this season off and not play softball or run track. I will start up next spring and run track. There is several reasons for my decision that no one really gets and they always are asking why, its simply my life and I want to look back on it and know that I did what pleased me, not everyone else. After the state meet that ended my wrestling season I knew that I would be training again for the Cross Country season ahead of me. I have nearly 5 months until my season starts and runnning has already became a part of my schedule. I was looking at quotes for a project and I came across ones that sorta inspire me to push myself no matter how bad I want to stop. There is some that I just like too.


People ask why I run. I say "if you have to ask, you will never understand." It is something only those select few know. Those who put themselves through pain, but know, deep down, how good it really feels. -Erin Leonard

Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all about. -PattiSue Plumer

Act like a horse. Be dumb. Just run. -Anonymous

Mental will is a muscle that needs excercise , just like the muscles of the body. -Lynn Jennings

Many people shy away from hills. They make it easy on themselves, but that limits their improvement. The more you repeat something, the stronger you get. -Joe Catalano

When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less. -Paul Brown

Learn to run when feeling the pain: then push harder. -William Segei
