X-Country

I think it's safe to say that most people's memories of cross country are not pleasant ones. The cold, wet, mud and short shorts. However, I was probably one of the few who loved it, and Emily has also become a fan of distance running.

Every time we ran cross country in school, I would agree with a friend who was also a good runner, to run it together. We were so competitive, and we both knew that when the school gates were in sight we were going to sprint like mad!

Today, it was cold, muddy and wet...just as I remember it.
