Well i'm a cross country runner, and possibly track even though i think it sucks. so yeah this is my running page. in elementry school i wanted to be a pole vaulter but my mom says its too dangerous so i decided to do distance running instead and ta-dah! i'm now the fastest girl distance runner my school has had in 15 years. I've never had an actual official team b/c all the girls at my school would rather play sports that arent as strenuous like volleyball, softball, and golf. I have only one teammate right now. (if anyone would like to help me out w/ this problem just come to Syracuse High School and join our 2-person team) But my teammate is awesome anyway so that makes up for not having an actual team. My coach is awesome, too. He really cares about us but isn't afraid to put us through hell when it's necessary. Two final thoughts: 1. XC RULES!! And 2. i do RUN the place!

my favorite quotes on people's cross country t-shirts

OK, since I don't have much to blog about since it's in between cross country and track season, I thought I'd compile a list of my favorite quotes I saw on the back of people's t-shirts.

 Cross country -finally, a practical use for a golf course

Cross country is a mental sport -and we're all insane!

there are two types of people in the world- those who run and those who should

 I'm too XC for my shirt

 once you've run cross country, everything else in life seems easy

anyone can run 100 meters, it's the next 4900 that count

if cross country were easy, it would be called football

 running is the greatest metaphor for life because you get out of it what you put into it

Why is everyone chasing me!?!

 A lot of people run a race to see who's the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts

(back) you'd better read fast because I'm leaving you behind!
