Most of life had been consumed by running, resting,racing and recovering.
when i first began to wirte a blog, i wondered what else could i write about?
The detail of my life has shaped me as an athlete and a guy.
if there is one message i want to get across, it is that i am passionate about the importance of sport in my lives and what it can bring to me.
without sport I would not be the person I am today.

Athletics has teaches me about myself, both my strengths and weaknesses.
I have learned to respect and be more aware of my body,
how it must look after and what must be done to get the best out of it.

because of Athletics I am more self-confident and outgoing that i would otherwise have been. Sport have also shown me how to be more understanding and respectful of the achievements of others.

I have learnt how to handle cope and stress that life can throw at us.I do this sport because I love the act of Running.

My greatest fear is not winning or missing out on a medal, but the injury that might stop me from doing this very basic activity. It was a passion for Running that drew me into the sport and after the races are finished and Competivite challenges are over, the desire to run will still be there. i can't imagine living and not running.

It is what I enjoy doing, getting out there and racing. And I will continue to do it as long as I am able.

Winning isn't everything to me but Running and giving my all is.
i have come across tis engraved in the rocks, the words:

" Notre plus grand gloire n'est pas de ne jamais tomber mais de se relever a chaque fois que I'on timbe "

it read : " our greatest houner is not that we never fall down, but that we pick ourselves up again each time we fall"

this is so important in life. We should never be afraid to go after something that we want for fear of failure. We all need the courage to try, we may not go there straight away, sometimes we may never get there, but we must never be afraid to give all that we can go after our goals and dreams.

From James Patterson's novel i found something uplifting because I have long felt but Never worked out into words. It is, I believe, relvant to everyone's life.
It was about five balls:life is about juggling five balls in the air. They are Health,Family,Friends, integrity and career/achievement. these ball are not the same; the important thing to remember is that the career ball is made of rubber but the others are more fragile. You can take more risk with the rubber ball. you may try to throw it higher and higher hops because if you do drop it, it will eventually bounce back. Normally, this ball wont suffer long-term damage. the other four ball need to be looked after more carefully. if you drop one of these it will be damage and it may even shatter.

To me it is a vaild analogy because it symbolises what is important in life and should be remebered. so long as we have our health, intergrity, family and friends we can overcome life's hurdles.
