“Oh lord, I’m involved in a lot of activities: horseback riding, bowling, running cross country and track, the Church Counsel Conference of Youth Ministry, and yeah that’s about it. I’ve been involved as soon as I could be. I’ve been riding since I was six, bowling since I could pick up a ball, running since freshman year, and CCYM for two years. Just about every time I run, I’ve been discouraged, but I keep going because in the end it’s worth it. The best part is when I cross the finish line and my coach says he’s proud of me. My first day at practice I ran with two of my best friends and the entire time I just felt like I was going to fall out and die, but they just kept encouraging me to keep going. My advice to anybody participating would be the harder you train, the harder you race.”
