track team ( one of the best in the nation ) and his best is not
good enough. He is confronted with a coach that has a system of
winning that shakes the very foundation of what he believes about
what it takes to be a champion. If Andre does not figure out a way
to improve his track performance he will lose his opportunity to be
a high school state champion in track something that would be a
loss of honor to his family and worse a loss of belief in himself.

champion in track as well as life.

Running can be a method of discovering new physical, mental, and
emotional limits. Seeking a new way to test those limits, Ryan
Chukuske set off on a 100 mile race. During the race, he discovered
a new appreciation for himself and for life in general. This is a
recollection of his thoughts during the race and how running can be
translated to lessons anyone can live by. Finding change through
pain and humility, and a touch of humor, he discovered that life is
not about the running. Life is about the journey.
