I was actually very excited to go that day because of the anticipation piling up as the time got closer. When I had gotten to the meeting, thankfully, I had seen a couple

Effects of Running on the Musculoskeletal System Running improves bone health by strengthening the bones through the virtue of Wolff's Law which states that bones respond to stress by reforming. This allows the bones to better handle the stress that is placed upon them. In the case of runners, their weight-bearing bones, like the legs and pelvis, are stronger because they are the ones which receive the most stress during the activity. But it is only weight bearing bones which benefit from running, therefore
the starting line before a race is exhilarating. The burning sensation in my lungs as I push my body to its limits is satisfying. Running seems natural. The only supplies necessary are a willing body and a pair of shoes. I couldn’t be a runner if it wasn’t for my running shoes. I carry my running shoes with me wherever I go.

In fifth grade; before I was going to start Middle School my mother told me I should try out for Cross Country. She thought it would be something I’d be good at because I had “good running legs”. I was wary of joining
have noticed track runners come in various body compositions including body mass and height, which made me ponder, does height of a runner affect their speed? By All things being equal, body mass, proportionality and stride rate, the mechanics of running depends upon more than runner height. So by all things being equal it's more than the height of the runner it's the mechanics of a runner it's how their body responds. A runner should have a steady stride rate and have a manageable body mass and have
