Hurdling, an Attitude
I love hurdling as much as reading The Economist or watching NBA games. I’ve been a cross-country runner for years, but hurdling satisfies a whole different, innate hunger within me. It is to embrace the thrill that comes with the danger of falling. It is also to perfect my form through constant drills and practices. I love hurdling because once the race starts I have no other options but to explode over the barriers, even if I stumble and fall. The moment my trail leg lands on the track, I have left one bar behind, and I am ready to attack the next one.
If running keeps me alive, then I hope hurdling is my lifestyle. For me, it has become an attitude. The barriers are always high and I may trip and fall, but I have learned that to keep going is the only way.
