My Favorite Quote/ Running Motivator

" Running is a thinking sport and we're all insane. We run faster than your mascara, our workouts are alot longer than our shorts. The gun goes off and I am the bullet. "
At everyone one of our cross country meets the team captains give us a quote to help motivate us and this is my favorite one so far.

Box Elder vs. Bonneville and Mountain Crest Cross Country

The picture above is of me finishing the race with a time of 24:47.
The picture below is of me running my second lap of the race.

The picture below is of me running with my team on the first lap of the race.
This next picture is of everyone running at the start of the race.
This last picture is of all the teams having their team huddles before the race. The teams from left to right are Mountain Crest, Bonneville and then Box Elder.

Over all the race went pretty well. The course was a figure eight around Fort Beunaventura. It was Bonnevilles home course. I felt really good about this race and did pretty well also. I came in before all of the JV girls on my team and before half of the Varsity girls as well.

First Cross Country Meet!

Well my first cross country meet was last Friday in Malad. It was an invitational so there were lots and lots of schools there. I was a little nervous for my first race on the high school team but twenty six minutes and eighteen seconds later I was crossing that finish line and I was glad I had ran it. It wasn't the best 5k race I have ever ran but it was my first cross country race and I finally understand why its called cross country. Your not just running down the side of the road. We ran through and dead chopped down corn field, through a parking lot, across the lawn, on a trail that had gopher holes down the middle of the trail, and along the side of the road. I learned that in cross country you pretty much just run no matter what the trail is like.
