Cross Country is back...it's a dream beginning again
I've always thought of Cross Country as one of the few pure sports out there. all you have to do is run. Not like Football, where you run and catch.

Plus, Football is for weak-asses. I can say this even though I've never played full contact Football.

I've played Rugby, so that gives me the god-given right to call every other sport a weak-ass sport. Hell, I broke my collar-bone playing Rugby. If you don't know what Rugby is, look it up on Wikipedia. It's a fusion of Soccer and Football. A sport from Eurpoe the few here in America know of, but I know of and love to watch it on TV.

Almost as much as getting up at 2 in the morning to watch the FIA GT circut, but I digress bigtime.

Cross Country is running at it's purest. 3 miles of you versus yourself. You can physcially be in the best possible shape for a XC (Cross Country for short, that's what we runners call it) race, but lose because of a weak mentality and low drive to win.

XC is about physically pushign yourself and mentally rejecting anything you feel that will slow you down.

Pain is a constant for an XC runner. The best XC runner shut pain out so well, they feel nothing while running. 've only gotten to the level of getting most of my pain out. I still feel pain, so I'm not a great XC runner yet.

My training starts on Monday. It's a little weird, because I'm still training with my high school team, and will also be still training with them for the summer, but when I enter college, I'll be running for my college.

Yes, I decided to continue running XC through college, and maybe even beyond.

Right now my fastest time is a 19:04 back in Septmber of 2005. That's an average of a 6:21.3 mile per mile for three miles. Nearly a constant speed of 10mph. Flucuations in times of a runner as they tire out during a race would allow my first mile to be a 5:20 and then go down equally from there to make a 19:03, which is one second shy of my personal best.

I'm looking at hopefulyl getting itno the sub-18 three mile times by July, and hopefuly eb i nthe Sub-17 thee mile times by the beginning of Septmebr, just in time to try out for a college XC team.

So I hope I get it, and i can't wait for the sport I enjoy the most to begin its trainign on Monday. w00t w00t!
