Dragon Warrior Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 Yep. I just wrapped up my season of Cross Country. 2nd season, actually. And then again, the season is never really over since I train year round. And some people don't even know what the dizzle Cross Country is. Well, I'll tell you what it is! A runner's sport. That's right. What this sport does for fun is what other sports do for punishment. I had a pretty good year this year, in fact. I brought down my time greatly, went to state, was in the papers a lot. I'm just a sophomore so I have 2 years more to go :) My 3 Mile time is 17:17. Anyone else run this sport? Hmm? Yes? no? Semi-colon?
Corey Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 I'm going to join next year if I can bring my weight down twenty lbs or so.
stardust Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 I can't stand running. You people are insane. How can you LIKE that feeling~?!? Awww,I guess I'm just not a sporty person.... ...but we have a good team. One girl in my class is going to state. One. By herself. Yep.
Dragon Warrior Posted November 9, 2003 Author Posted November 9, 2003 Well, to like it, you have to do it for a while. You won't like it at first, but then you get use to it and sooner or later, it'll be good to run ^_^ Plus, the goal of winning the race is the shiznit!
Deedlit Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 [color=009966]I used to run really well, but when I stopped playing softball my legs took a vacation and have gotten lazy. Now I can only run fast over short distances. :whoops::sweat:[/color]

This season wasn't very good for me, but my best 5K is 20:21 I used to play a mad amount of tennis. For a few years I was playing Junior Tournaments in GA. I was ranked 76th for 16 and under. I quit though because it started to get to the point where if I wanted to stay competitive I would have to practice around four hours a day, seven days a week. I started doing crew last year though, I really like it. Some other athletic experience I have had has also been in Baseball (short stop for awhile) and Basketball (right gaurd for only a year) Word... :laugh:
Epid3mic Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 I love cross-country, I just finished up my first season. Our team got to the championship, but I think we lost to another school. This only only my first year, I'm not that great, My 3 mile PR is 21:30. I am progressing though, I can't wait for next season.
Dragon Warrior Posted November 9, 2003 Author Posted November 9, 2003 Hey, train year round you guys and you'll lower your time greatly. I mean, if you're training year round and the people who are better aren't, you'll be at their time or better by the time next season starts :)
AzureWolf Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I hate running, and it seems that a lot of fencers do (even the coaches). Nevertheless, they make you do it, and I'm dead after this 2-lap-around-the-campus "warm-up." They don't let you stop for a minute, but the two laps don't even equate anywhere near three miles. I'm amazed someone can do that. Haha, what a healthy person. I hate you, Dragon Warrior. :)
ChibiHorsewoman Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I do/did cross country when I lived in New York. However, it was completely different from the type you're talking about. I did cross country jumping just for the sheer fun of it, which simply means I'm one of those crazy people who goes over obsticles on a horse:laugh: As for running, I stay away from it, unless it's snowing or raining and I want to get inside quick. I can't run for squat. Well, okay I can, but I simply choose not to do so:angel: Which is probably one of the main reasons I stayed out of the military, I abhore running and push-ups and they make you do that in PT tests. All the same tho, congratulations. And I wonder why they don't have indoor track at your school since they did at mine.

XD And ChibiHorsewoman, I once upon a time use to be crazy and do horse jumping thingies as well. Wait a tick... I still am crazy :)
