I started last year during first semester. I got bored, so I threw rocks at the walk-way roof between the buildings. Some people at a higher grade didn't like it, and mentioned trash-canning me. I ran like a bat out of hell, tiring my self out to stay safe for the remainder of lunch.
They tried almost every day that semester to get me, but after the first few times they tried I considered it a game. I got a point every time they failed to trash-can me. Not counting the times they had me in their grasp but I escaped, the score was 9-0. Now I run to my friend's house every day, and walk home rather than take the bus.

I got into running because I was always a very fast runner from when I was little. I started to enjoy running in meets and with other peoples. eventually, I joined a track and cross country team.
that made me stop liking running.
the distances were very long (and I will always be a sprinter) and I continually got shin splints. and other injuries like 2 pulled hanstrings. this also interfered with my martial arts classes for 1/2 a year. I was going for my blackbelt at the time and I was too tired from 3hrs running a day that I could never go to train in the martial arts.
I took off from running and other sports to recover from the injuries and never went back to running track.... so far. I may start again but I think I will stay satasfied with running with friends and with my dog.
unfortunately, my friends never like to race against me because I am so much faster that I ultimately leave them in the dust... but I will keep running. : D

I'm glad you started a topic like this! It's a good one.
I started running my sophomore year in high school. We got a new coach at our school that year and he had visited at the end of my freshman year to introduce himself and try to recruit runners. He was just so cool and enthusiastic about everything and very convincing. I joined the team with one of my friends. She didn't stick with it (she chose soccer instead) and I ran through the rest of highschool. I'm so terrible about sticking with things, but cross country was just something I wanted to stick with. Now that I've graduated and haven't been on a team for two years, I've slacked on the running a lot, but I have began to run more since one of my new friends ran xc in high school and she's now my running buddy.
Ohhh I did try out for the track team in 5th grade, but the coach had a really F-ed up way of try-outs. He would have people run in groups and race along the track, and the top 5 people per group were chosen for the team. I was in the first group, and I came in 6th. The second group had slower people and I totally would have been in the top 5! I was so ticked! I have no idea why I decided to try out for that though...
I talk a lot... gonk

i got into running because, well two reason. one was my old brother was doing it and i like to do everything my brother does because he is so cool. the other reason is because i was never good at any sport so i wanted to be one of there best, sre at least good at a sport, so i sharted to doing mile runs and i was good at it, so i ended up loving it, and thats how i started running smile
Now i walk every were i go and i run when it's not snowing. i love to run, and i keep getting better and beter at it. my goal is to, by high school to run a mile in 4 minutes. right now my mile last year in 7th grade was less then 7 minutes. i hope to get it better this year because the 8th graders are really good this year, the ones from other schools that came to are school.
so i'm going to stay with running, even when it hurt just to run. last year i got hurt and in school, every step i took i had a strong pain in my legs. i don't know why but i still went to track and it got worst, but after i few days it did get better. it still hurt a lot, i i love to run so i stayed with is and i was one of the best runners in my school, or aat least in my grade smile .

I got into running in my 8th grade p.e. class. Me and my friend would always try to beat the other in the half mile warm up. We started off kind of slow but by the second quarter we were the two fastest. We kept pushing ourselfs and competeing in every game. When track season came our coach came up to us and asked us to join the team. I did I ran the 800 and the 1600. She did the 400 medaly, shock put, and discus. Even there we competed enspirering each other to keep going. She was there for me the time I ran sick. Buut I ran for my team. I was the best 800 runner they had and they needed me. I came in 2nd and colapsed at the end of the run but I was so happy. I still run alot today it's one of my favorite things to do. Sorry I wrote so much. sweatdrop

I think I got into running in the second grade. A kid in my class always sang Mary Had A Little Lamb, so we would always scare him or chase him off to get rid of him.
... Six years later and I'm still runnin' and chasing people. xd

Well let's see. I started track when I was a freshman, but then again track is a really popular sport at our school and it seems like everyone could get in. At first I thought it would be a cake walk since I was looking to be good at least in one of the sports they had. Eventually i learned that it took work and effort. I have ran before highschool, but it was only for the mile in gym class.
