Running has always been a passion of mine, along the way it has helped me overcome and push towards my goals in life. My cross country and track teams have become more like a family, than a team. We win together, and we lose together. Becoming the distance runner I am today has allowed me to have a purpose in life and to always try to be the best that I can. Not only do I participate in cross country running and outdoor track, however, I spend the whole year in training. I also participate in soccer

late August morning in order to go run. At cross country practice. I dragged my feet for a few days but after many more encouraging morning texts, I finally got out of bed, laced up my shoes, and asked my mom to drive me to the green belt. I was joining cross country. Having never run a full mile in my life, I was absolutely sure that running for no good reason every day would be a complete flop and I would quit after a few days. I was dead wrong. Cross country would not let me quit. It not only would

11/10/2017 A Tribute to Cross Country It’s clear that mine is not a popular sport. Walking out to where the team meets before practice, one must squeeze through a small opening in an unnecessarily locked gate.

You could be learning

Never having to exploit my running except for playing tag during recess, I did not especially develop my ability to run. After all, the scariest thing I had to run away from in my childhood was my mother as she chased me around the house to make me do my chores. Part of my private school life was required physical education. Coming from public school, I wasn’t sure what to expect from physical education, but after some rationalization, I arrived at joining the cross country team in order to fulfill

As I began my freshman year of high school, I felt compelled to join a sport. I wanted to try something new since I played basketball, baseball, and soccer growing up. So, I decided to join the cross country team. I thought running would be as natural and effortless as it was in other sports. Never had I been more wrong.

around the community. I really quite enjoy running on the cross country team for my high school. Running has been a part of who I am for a very long time. As a little kid I would always like to run around my neighborhood chasing people or just running for fun. I was just really active as a kid.
