Cross country running

Indeed it is. Here you can talk all about cross country stars and athletes and the sport itself. Oh, don't forget if you like it and why or why not. etc.

I love running cross country..it just stinks that its during football season and for me football > C.C.

I still enjoy running long distances on my own time and whatnot.

man, i love running. there is nothing like going out on a 10 miler and just shutting your mind down and just going. ahhh i miss it. i havent been able to do it since i hurt my back last year.

my back has healed enough so, i was able to run for the first time today after about 10 months. my legs are not under me yet, but i hope to be doing 5 in about a month and ten in 2 months

so i am doing some interval training on the treadmill to start out. i can only run 5 min at a time right now, so i run for 5 and walk for 5.

That's awesome. I don't actually run cross country, but I like to run a bit to keep in shape for soccer & basketball. Right now I can only do about 3 miles. I hope to pump that up to 5 over the summer.

my goal is to do 5 miles for my long runs by next month. i think i can do it. i want to max out at 10 in 3 months.

i heart running, track and cross country
right now im doing the mile for the track meet
what stinks is that cross country is same season as marching band and football

***Pauler*** · 05-06-2008, 08:39 PM

Even if football was a different season, I'm sorry, but I just don't think you'd get the marching band to play at your XC meets.

I loved Cross Country!!!

Get those guys who do road racing all the time and put them on grass and watch them fall apart after the first mile

Ran track and cross country into my 40s but now I'm stuck biking for the duration. Almost 30 years of track (mile & 1/2 mile, or 1500 and 800 later on) I did end up with track knee

Nothing like running and feeling the wind in your hair and the endorphines taking over on a long run.
