Twas the night of the race. Running the course the first Time.Running by your self getting. Pumped for the race.AT the Start line all by yourself .the gun goes of and you sprint the 1st mile then you r running the 2ed then pretending there is a guy chasing you in the 3ed.when u see the line you sprint ,run ,and getting chased by a guy all in one then u run the race .and u just won the biggest Christmas 5k race of all!THE FIRST TIME I RAN A RACE I WAS SO SCARED.THEN WHEN I WENT TO THE LINE AND ALL OF MY TEAM MATES WERE ALL THERE WITH me the ME.I WAS IN A SCHOOL PROGRAM GIRLS ON THE RUN.THAT GOTME STARTED IN RUNNING.SO It's always good to start something new.thats why if you ever have an opportunity always do it.So,that's all how I got started into running.while doing xc ive gotten another family.If I ever have something I need to talk about I always have someone.The first xc race was in west senaca ny.I finished 2ed for my team and got 24 or 25 min.
