There is no goal to high for a person who has passion, determination, and a great work ethic. Take for example the simple life of Lheslie de Lima, a barefoot runner who won her first-ever gold medal in Palarong Pambansa. This talented, young girl made her hometown of Camarines Sur extremely proud when she crushed the competition despite having no shoes on.
According to a report by ABS-CBN, Lheslie beat out a very gifted athlete from Northern Mindanao named Camila Tubiano in the 3,000-meter track and field event. Because it was summer, we could imagine how hot the pavement must have been during the competition but Lheslie had her eyes on the prize.
The Grade 8 barefoot runner from Baao National High School shared that she maintained her speed during the last 200 meters as Camila tried to overtake her. People must have been wondering why Lheslie decided to run without shoes. According to De Lima, it was a more comfortable way for the athlete to compete.
Growing up in a simple life with seven other siblings, this was the first gold medal that Lheslie won in the sport that she loves. The young girl only started to run when she was in Grade 5 but take a look at the recent achievement that she has reached.
