By this point in her workout, Kate was getting worn down. After all, she'd only really run two 5k's, and the first one had nearly killed her. The second went marginally better. Since then, she'd decided that focusing on building up her stamina was a much better investment than simply trying to go faster. That didn't stop her from setting up these little competitions in her mind, however, and now she was starting to feel the effects of those extra seconds. The rubbery sensation in her legs was gone; replaced by something less ambiguous. Put another way, her calves were on fire, and her ankles were starting to complain. Tenth of a mile by tenth of a mile, that ubiquitous runner's struggle -- a war of wills between one's desire to break through into new territory and the instinct to stop doing something before appendages pop, break, or tear -- raged on. Her breathing was getting ragged, and suddenly it was something of a struggle to maintain her posture. And then she became aware of a guy. Kate had never seen him around the gym before, but …show more content…
These days, it felt like the one man in her life was more than she'd been meant for. Of course this wasn't the first moment Richard, Kate's husband, had run through her mind. No, frustrating notions of all their hollow and passive aggressive discussions recently had been plenty of fiery motivation to nudge her through the middle of that third mile. Throughout the day, the couple had been exchanging ambiguous communication via text message since it was apparently some kind of an intrusive ordeal for him to call her at some point during the day when it was convenient. The two worked opposing schedules -- he worked third shift, and she worked normal-people hours -- and so there were often days like this where their marriage existed only in a few short and impersonal messages. It was lonely, but she had plenty to keep her busy between work and

He was of middling fitness and he liked to believe slightly above average intelligence. But every question seemed to be something he already knew, and every physical challenge seemed to place him exactly where he needed to be to react safely. He could barely struggle to conceive of time, but hundreds of questions had flown at him, more dangerous threats than he could count had presented themselves to him, and yet he got through it relatively unharmed.

It happened on June 11, 2015. My lacrosse team won our regional quarter final game the previous day—I scored my personal best of five goals and was named Player of the Game. As a reward for the win, my coach gave us a three hour practice the next day that was strictly conditioning—leaving the seniors 30 minutes to go home, shower, change, and drive to our Senior Dinner at Bowdoin College. I raced home from practice, my sweat sticking to the car leather seats, music blasting, and the wind in my hair. I had the future on my mind: playoffs, graduation, summer, and college.

Forty percent of people in the world are predicted to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. For the longest time, this remained a statistic to me, but everything changed the day my father received a phone call detailing my paternal grandpa 's lung cancer diagnosis. To my dismay, I learned that my grandpa wasn 't the only one affected by this adversity in my family, but my maternal grandma and uncle have also been diagnosed in the past. That day, my entire perspective on cancer transformed and, consequently, I felt a need to do something about it. In high school, I eagerly sought to join Relay for Life.

"To strengthen her wrists, she decided to do twenty push-ups on her fingertips, five at a time. ' One, two, three...' she groaned. By the end of the
All day long Lionel pushed his body to its limits. He’d conducted pell exercises until his arms gave out. He ran until his knees buckled. Hauled rocks. He’d even forced himself to swim across the frigid swimming hole five times, hoping the cold would dampen his jealousy and quell his pain, but it did not.
I have had tough hope once, I had to move to a different state and start to get used to the new place. Moving was hard and took a long time to move everything to our new house. My new house was hard to get used to because it was different and I wasn 't used to it which made it hard to sleep and I had to leave my friends behind and I would have to find new friends. Making new friends was hard because I would be alone until I found new friends and I would have no one to talk to so I would be very quiet. Usually I would always be talking to a friend and I am only social with friends.
