Cross Fell

When someone has to imagine life as a race or as a run, different images can come to that person that distinctly separates the two things making them different from one another. Running is unique, racing is also its own thing, but they do have things in common.The Loneliness of a Long-distance Runner by Alan Sillitoe helps to figure out the difference between the two in the form of a story which helps immensely with the understanding.

I run. Out of emotion, almost every one you can think of. Love, anger, joy, frustration, excitement, and so much more. Most people who are not runners, ramble questions along the lines of “How do you enjoy that?”, “Why is that fun to you”, and “What's the point?”. Running brings me peace, it’s a time to think, a time to pray, and a time to get to know myself better. Yes, completely exhausting myself is the most relaxing, refreshing part of my day. I run. Between 5 and 8 miles a day, and most of the

off, some might say cross country is not a sport. But, I say it is. I can say that it is one of the hardest sports.

The Dream of the Rood tells of the death of Jesus Christ from the vantage point of the cross, the cross that Christ was crucified on. The poems open up with the author describing the tree as an unwilling participant. “I was cut down at the wood's edge, taken from my stump.

The next year, I made the decision to run cross country with the high school and I fell in love with running even more. The greatest feeling I have ever felt is coming around to the finish line, about to set a new personal best, and having your whole team scream out your name as you throw it all into the final sprint. But soon cross country ended, and since I wasn’t allowed to run track with

I can still remember the day I ran at the state Cross Country Meet. It was one of the most exciting days of my life. It took place in Round Rock, Texas during my sophomore year in high school.

This is the first year when you can do cross country.Then I remembered that It was so far away from now. It's going to be 2 months till practice starts. So later on in middle it was finally time for the first cross country practice.
