Whats This? Lets Run!

[DataXUnknown]

I have a Cross Country race on saturday. It's a very mountainous(if thats a word) course. It's only two miles, don't know why but they are usually three miles. I'm hoping for an 11 minute race. I would say 10 minute, but I seem to be slower in the hills as everyone should. Now thats two consecutive 5:30 miles, shouldn't be too hard. Its either I die on the race and get 13 minutes, or I do decent if not good and get 10 or 11 minutes. Gotta get pumped up for the race

I remember our HS CC running around town, I had a lot of friends in CC.

I hate cross country running, i even hate track running. Get tired really quickly but then i can run on a running manchine or playing football/basketball for over an hour... wierd.

Anyway good luck, let us know how you did.

Not to burst your bubble, but a mountainous course will take you longer than 10 minutes. Unless you are Uber fast during the uphill climbs and have massive stamina, I predict you'll fall somewhere between 13:00-15:00. How do i know this? I've been running CC since Freshman year. I know. I'm a Junior now.

I tried track/CC one year. Pretty tough shit. I have total respect for everyone who can finish those courses within 10-13 minutes. Thats some crazy shit lol...I hated track cause i hated running but i did it cause i wanted to do some kind of sport and football season was over, as well as basketball season. so..yeah. anyway it was fun but hard..i dont see why running a mile tires me out but i can run like 2 miles during a basketball game and not get tired. possibly cause im having fun at the same time but i guess theres some walking/stopping involved :P

I do CC for my school. I can usually pull off two 4:40-4:50 miles if the terrain is relatively flat.

I would shoot for ten minutes on A hill course.

I tried out and on that same day they're like, "lol u need a fysical", says the really fat coach.

Well it turns out they started that new rule that exact day I tried out and I look around and everyone else has had one. Me and my friend tried out and we both didn't have it so we left infront of everyone. It was so embarrasing.

I'm in cross country in school.. Since 6th grade, well 6th grade doesn't count since i fell in the middle of it, broke my leg, and had to leave CC.

But hey, 9th grade i was back, i'm pretty good.

Track is fun, i do 10 laps everyday, but this year i didn't join the track team =/. Basketball was shouting "PICK ME PICK ME" at me.
