You can only grow and be successful if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.” (Brian Tracy) Cross country is a sport where you can either work as a team or work as an individual. Cross country, sometimes makes you as a runner work with someone you’ve never expected to worked with before because we all have our good days and bad days as runners. Cross country is not an easy sport, and neither are the practices; practicing in cross country can range from individual work to teamwork. Indian run is an exercise where the team has to collaborate by jogging in one line, and the last person in the line has to sprint to the front, and so on so forth. Being one of the team captains

    From my last 3 years of running cross county I have learned a lot of things. One is that you should never give up, second is that if you work hard enough then you can achieve whatever you put your mind to, and third is how you can go from disliking something to loving something. How I've learned these things from cross county is when I first started cross country, my sophomore year I couldn't run to save my life. Coach would always time us on how fast we could run two miles and I would always be last and be so far behind everyone else which was quite embarrassing but I couldn't help it I had just started and I'd never ran before in my life, at my very first meet I couldn't even run the first mile and I ended up having to drop out. After that I didn't like cross county at all because I wasn't good at it…

I actually did plenty of .research on nursing and I think Hinds is just the place for me .…

Besides i’m not going to talk you through every race i’ve ever run, I don’t remember half of them. I will just tell you about this cross country season as a whole.…
