...Running Running, we were always running. Running for our lives, running from our lives, but no matter what the reason, we were always running. The only time we ever stopped was about every few hours so we could rest and eat. “Who are we running from,” I would always ask my parents. They would just look at me for a while like I wouldn’t understand till I was older. Nothing else. Nothing more. During the day, there was much silence. Most noises came from the wind rustling through leave or the occasional bird. The only time anyone ever spoke was to hurry someone else up or to give directions. All this silence meant that there was a lot of time to think. I would mostly think about my life before we started running. I would think about playing in the park with other boys from...

...Ever since I was a kid, running was not my forté. Whether it be speed or distance, I would fall short compared to others. My physical inadequacy troubled and embarrassed me often, though never motivated me enough to take action. Not until the ten minute mile standard was introduced to me in my high school gym class. That fateful day I was nothing but surprised and fearful. Surprised that such a standard existed and fearful for the shame and embarrassment that was sure to come. As I began to run with my classmates, I remained optimistic I would fall only slightly short of the standard. However, soon enough, years of lacking any physical activity begin to catch up with me and I came in dead last. Words could not describe the shame I felt that day. The humiliation was enough for me to...

It also provides encouragement for the reader to try trail running personally. As a boy I ran everywhere. On the ball court, on the field, to the barn and the pond, I ran and ran and ran. But as an adult, like most others, with the daily the activities of raising a family and making a living, running seemed to fade away.

...Running is essential to me. I have played many sports and been on many teams, but the teams I've been on never really felt like a family, until I started running cross-country, indoor and outdoor track. I have never been pushed so mentally and physically hard ever before in my life. The running program at my school does not get much support, compared to other programs such as basketball and football. I still enjoy it though, because it helps me have a strong mindset, at times when I want to walk or quit at practice or during a meet, and keep I continue pushing forward. I started running my freshman year in high school, when I joined the indoor track team. There were only two other boys on the team. Not even enough for a relay team. We still...

...When sports are all you have, giving up is not an option. Since elementary school, I have always participated in sports, and they have always been a big part of my life. Once I was in high school never did I think running would become my main sport; becoming my number one reason for going to school. When a former teammate told me I had the potential to go on and run in college, every day I would show up to practice, putting all my effort to perfect my times. Not once did it ever cross my mind that it was possible to have something wrong with my body, causing me to sit out from running for what felt like two eternal years. From then on, I realized this sport was all I had; it was the only thing that helped me feel better. I learned never to take my sport for granted because I had big things ahead when it came to running. The start of my first year I was new in the state of Oklahoma, and I was to start high school off with no friends. It was a bit nerve wrecking but I had decided I would join a sport to become involved at school. Since I had been on the Track team in elementary school, I decided to try out for the Cross-Country team since it was similar to Track. Soon enough came the day of my first race on the junior varsity team, the feeling of finishing a race was great and I was...

...The Crazy Bull Running Festival It seems slightly insane to go anywhere near a charging bull, but every year, thousands of brave festival-goers run with the bulls in Lampoon in Spain . all the participants must be at least 18 years old . Everyone dresses up in white pants, a white shirt, a red scarf around their neck, and a red sash around their waist. . The history of the running in front of bulls is not completely clear. It started when bullfighting became a popular pastime, and many bullrings were built. The only way to get the bulls from the corral to the bullring was by running them through the streets to the ring. Eventually, people started running with the bulls. As every year passed, this became more and more popular, and has grown into this extremely important festival . Early in the morning from 6 July to 14 the runners gather in the street and seek out their position to run with the bulls at 8am a rocket goes off to signal that the six bulls and six steers have been let out of their corral, and then a second goes off to signal that all the bulls are loose and running. The bulls charge down the streets towards the bullring along an 825m stretch, and everyone goes wild. A third rocket is set off once all the bulls have entered the bullring and the fourth and final rocket means that the bulls are now in the bullring and the bull run has finished. Every year people get injured, not just because of the bulls, but also through falling and drink-related...
