Running Club!

I'm curious. Do we have a lot of runners in MKPC? If yes, please share what your run (Track, Cross Country, just local races), and what your times are like. I'm really curious if we have many here!

Talk about running!!


I'll take about how I started running.

When I was in 8th grade, I wanted to join a sport in high school. I thought about soccer, but then I heard about Cross Country and I thought it sounded great! I joined, and loved it. I was the slowest on the team (29 minute 5K), so I thought I'd try track. Turns out I was a lot better at track, and I was able to build up speed over the seasons. Then I did Cross Country again in 10th grade, and I was WAY better! Then track came around, and I enjoyed it again because I am actually at the level where I can run with my friends without having to fall behind. I plan to keep doing track and cross country in my junior and senior years, and I am thinking about doing a half marathon over summer.

Here are my PRs for various events.

100m: 12.48
300m: 44
400m: 63.4
800m: 2:22
1600m: 5:30
3200m: 12:08
5K (Cross Country): 20:28
10K (not a race, just a workout): 53:47

What about you guys? I'd love to learn about you guys and your journies of running!
