It all started just two years ago. My best friend was signed up for cross country and she somehow managed to talk me into it. I walked in on the first day unprepared for what would come next. That hundred degree with a high UV index is burned into my mind. I managed to run a pathetic .75 miles, especially with everyone else running up to five miles. Although it horrible and still holds the same description as horrible up to this day, going out for cross country resulted in many lessons. The feeling of being unprepared occurs often in my life. As long as I can remember I have been care free. I learned right off the bat that being carefree would not help me at all in this case. “Be ready to run,” something Coach Wagner says more than anyone
