Keep GOING !!!! (Kayla)
Kayla Windemuller
Holland Christian Cross County
Some days I am ready to put my body through lots and lots of pain and work hard to get better, yet a shot at the doctor scares me more that workouts that could put my body in the ground, and yet some other days I have to convince myself to work hard and need motivation. In the long run (pun not intended ;) ), that everything that I do for a 5k race and for one or two seasons of the year is completely worth it. A verse that comes to mind when I feel like I’m about die, is Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” I write this down on my hand before every race so that I can remind myself that even though I am in a lot of discomfort, I do this to glorify God. I also write it on my hand so that other people know that I run for the glory of God and of myself.
Before each season, I come up with a lot of motivation of what I want to accomplish whether that be during the cross country season or the track season. Every workout and race that I do, I know that I will be closer to reaching those goals. Sometimes just getting through the workout and having those thoughts in the back of my mind gets me through the uncomfortable in running. I think of the fast times, the big meets and racing against national caliber athletes gets my heart racing and gives me the motivation and drive I need to become my best.
Running is a very competitive sport but it is also a sport where you get close to your competitors. I lover acing against some of the very best and becoming friends with them. It takes a little pressure of
my back knowing that I have some I know to run next to. We encourage, motivate and help each other up when we are having a bad race. It’s like having really good teammates from other schools. Sportsmanship also helps you run through the uncomfortable. Running is something I love to do but sometimes gets monotonous so having a little extra motivation here and there is good to keep me going through the uncomfortable and through the less motivating times. When all the hard work and running through the uncomfortable pays off, the relief you feel when you are done and getting your goals is the best feeling. I guess this is why I do it. I love to be competitive, work hard and seeing all of it pay off. Once one goal gets completed you start the whole cycle over again. Is is easy? No. Is it worth it? Heck yeah, I would do it all over again anytime just so I can see improvements in myself and praising God at the same time.
Running Through the Uncomfortable:
A lot of people ask me how I do it. Run as fast as I can for a certain amount of miles
whether that be six miles, three miles, two miles or just a mile. Some think that no running hurts
me at all and workouts and races come easily. The truth of the matter is that everything always
tends to hurt while racing or getting through workout days. Sometimes I just really appreciate
the easy days.Some days I am ready to put my body through lots and lots of pain and work hard to get better, yet a shot at the doctor scares me more that workouts that could put my body in the ground, and yet some other days I have to convince myself to work hard and need motivation.
