Yes, running in a 400 meter circle is quite fun, right? Well, for the most part it is intense and thrilling, but some might ask how can I do this every year and not get sick of it. The truth is that I really just love the sport, and yes track and field is actually a sport. My love for this sport comes from my extremely competitive personality. I simply don't like losing at all. Although, much of the student body thinks that this sport is boring and easy, they have no idea how difficult and demanding it actually is. Day in and day out, constantly training your body to run faster and more efficiently is a difficult task that takes much dedication and effort. Running outside in rain, snow, sleet, and heat waves sounds completely ridiculous to many, but to know that you are getting ahead of the competiton is instant gratification and drives me to continue everyday. Getting through the hardest weight training and plyometric sessions leaves me very satsified knowing that if I got through that who says I can't get through the next one. It comes to a point where your body is so fatigued that it's hard to even walk or better yet flex a muscle without grimacing in pain. It is amazing though, seeing how far I can push myself. It is safe to say that no other sport that I've partcipated in has worked me so hard and left me so sore. At times, the intense workouts and running leave me wondering why I put myself through this, but then again to see yourself improve and run faster than your opponents is pretty awesome.
