Run With IT

Hello my name is Jad Solanji. RUN WITH IT is the first book I ever wrote. When I was growing up I never liked reading. To me reading was boring and I wasn't interested unless it became a pass or fail option. It took me a while but as I got older I quickly found out how important read- ing was to succeed in just about anything. My aunt and my high school English teacher Miss Waligura made sure I understood that reading was one of the keys to success. Now I enjoy reading more than ever before.
As I grew older my favorite sport had always been basketball whether I was playing it or just watching the games. Unfortunately I never played it as good as I dreamed I would. When I got to high school, I realized running was the sport for me. It was not only fun but a sport I excelled at and learned what it takes to commit to something. This experience became my inspiration for writing this book.
"Run With It" is about two young guys in high school who began a life chang- ing journey together by joining cross country and track. Like any other sport, you can love it all you want but to really be good at it you will need much more than your feelings. There can be no greatness unless it comes from with- in, when you find the patience, feel the pain and learn what teamwork means to winning.
I hope you find their journey to be as exciting as I found it to be. I look forward to sharing with you the continuation of their journey. Till then, happy reading.
