least Tetris discontinues when the blocks reach a certain point. These blocks were infinite. Stacking up, collapsing into one another. Closing in, yet so far away. I wait for them to come closer but they never do. The long corridor mocks me as these obstacle blocks continue to stack, to shift, to morph, to stay the same even though they continuously change. It’s like waiting for that last single raindrop to hit the bottom of the car window: you wait, but it never

Extreme because it was the longest distance and offered the most obstacles. I researched the obstacles and course prior to deciding to run HRM, but I had no idea how much of the course was going to be spent going both up and down the Tussey Ski Mountain. According to my GPS watch, the Extreme version of the course was just over 7.7 miles in total distance, but as noted, it was the ascents up the mountain

eventually gave in, and we exited our cabin and headed towards the hill. My nerves grew by the second as I neared the giant opening. We gazed upward as we entered the barn. Climbers of all shapes and sizes were many stories up, climbing through the obstacle courses. The barn was cold and dim-lighted. The musty smell of the barn filled my nostrils. It made me feel as though I had entered a Haunted House. People screamed as the ropes above shook with the wind being brought in through the holes in the

to run through. I have three Spartan races left for 2016 and then I am off to England for many new and unique obstacle course races, I am looking forward to those races because my favorite Spartan course designer/director Dan Luzzi is designing the course, but I have to admit, I really hope Spartan goes back to the drawing board prior to 2017 and adds several new and unique obstacles. The course was very challenging, the trails were awesome and Norm and his team clearly worked hard to design

Introduction I always knew that I wanted to become a police officer, so I decided to interview a Police Captain. I interviewed Police Captain John Carpenter of Riverside Police Department. I found him through Riverside Police Department after looking around at the organizational chart I found online and looking at the titles that were on the chart. The Police Captain is one rank above a Lieutenant, but one below a Deputy Chief. A Police Captain is in charge of a certain precinct, and normally has

Notice always results in a thunderous "Hey, Air Assault. Drop!" That simple command is the vanguard of a relentless cycle of push-ups, flutter-kicks, and other physical torture they like to call corrective action. As we near the first obstacle, my canteen of water falls from my cargo pocket. I stop to retrieve my wayward bound canteen only to have those four backbreaking words slam into me from behind. As I drop to the ground, I hear the distinctive sound of a highly polished combat boot

To start of my college journey at Loras we went to a low ropes course as part of Launch into Loras weekend. It wasn’t an ordinary ropes course because it had teachable moments as part of our learning experience. It was time to get out of our comfort zones and allow ourselves to interact with others. This was either going to make us one or break us into awkward groups. Another part of our task was that we needed to take mental notes on how our mindset changed throughout the course because we would

The day is Thursday, March 16. I am at the Child Discovery Center, observing Josiah, age 8. Josiah is part of the after school program, in room 1. The observation takes place outside, on the school's playground. The time is 4:30 pm. Josiah starts to play a game of “leprechaun tag”, and he is it. He begins to run after two other girls, his arms are lifted at his sides as he pumps them back and forth, and he is running at a moderate pace. He is not as fast as the other children playing. While he

again?” I asked. Everybody, except for Mom glared at me. Mom simply said, “No, Isabel.” I shrugged and went over to the beach lounge chair things. Then I went to the pool. I tried a simple, fun obstacle course. At the third obstacle, I tipped back in the pool’s water! After a few backflips, I went back to see my mom. I was as cold as ice as I skipped merrily over to the beach chairs. I settled down in a chair with a towel covering me. I waved to my mom, who was

their lives would be a million times better with these capabilities, they would not be. Life may contain hard times and good times, although, the way someone handles those times is what matters. There is one woman in this world who conquered obstacle after obstacle and has found the way to deal with anything she faces. She was able to find the perfect balance between family, friends, work, and volunteering in her life, and her name is Jamie Fielder. No matter what the job or activity, Jamie does it full
