Cross Country Running

So with school around the corner (4 weeks until sophmoredom DX) my beloved XC team has began practicing.

This is a sport of champions.

People on the team are friendly enough, and freshmen runners get less of a hazing during regular school.

I'm just wondering about y'alls experiences XC be they past, present, or goals.

I personally have a blast running

My speil with XC running is the insane hillclimb runs that our angry austrian coach would make us do for training. NO stopping till you puke was the rule... Old school and inefficient thinking I believe... So I'm fairly bitter about it I guess.

Its good that everyone bonds well together and that you love it though

I'm going to do cross country this year. However, at my middle school, it isn't as important as Volleyball or Basketball is, so anyone (who can run two miles) is accepted onto the team.

My brother, who's going to be a Junior, has met with the team already and practices at the school every morning.

Yeh, I run, too. We just had our 5k time trial today, and I got 27:25. It sucked. I guess I won't be running our first race...
