Since I was level two I have wanted to run track.  I began going to on-grounds during the last year’s track season and I was good friends with most of the guys on the team.  I looked up to them and they inspired me to do track.

            In December I got level four and went to off-grounds running club.  We ran road runs every Saturday and Sunday and I loved it.  A road run in about a three and a half mile run on average usually out in the hills.  My first run I had to walk but that was the only time I ever did not finish a race. 

            I learned that running, like most everything else that I do, is completely mental.  If I tell myself that I can do it then I can accomplish it.  I thought that there was a zero percent chance of me to qualify for State.  I had not qualified when I went to Region Track Meet but I ended up running my best and qualified for two events, one of which was my first time running.

            I stayed positive, worked hard and stuck it through.  It got hard.  The practices were grueling and most of the time I felt like I was going to fall apart.  However, I kept working with a positive attitude and I earned my spot in the Utah State Championship Track and Field Meet.
