I broke 5 minutes in the mile about a week ago. After getting 5:07 three times, 5:03 twice, and 5:01 in the last race in track season I finally hit 4:58 in the first mile time trial of cross country. Breaking 5 was not an accident for me, I trained hard over the summer and pushed myself in running. My goal was breaking 5 minutes and I made it.
Success in running doesn’t come from accidents, runners who hold world records, state titles, or get their goal times in a fun run all have worked hard to achieve what they have achieved.
This year MVHSXC’s team slogan is “You GET what you GIVE.” It rings true to almost any sport, the more curious you remain and the more you pour your heart and dedicate your mind to something, the more you will get out of it.
My goals are high this high school season, I will dedicate myself to running and my team. Set a goal and put your heart into it.
