And as I may recall‚ it was the official start of my track career. Sixth grade started it all‚ running the four-hundred-meter dash for the first time.

After that‚ my times continued

Usually‚ our track workouts are pretty easy. Some 8x1 (eight 100 meter sprints)‚ 6x150 (six 150 meter build up)‚ even the occasional 8x200. On some dreadful day in March‚ after the last bell had ended‚ I met up with my friends and changed in the empty restrooms. While walking down to the cafeteria benches where track kids usually wait until the 3:30 mark‚ I overheard the captains and the varsity kids talking about a hard workout.

I have been on three athletic teams since my freshman year. I run cross-country in the fall‚ indoor track in the winter‚ and play lacrosse in the spring.

Cross country camp is full of traditions. Our traditions vary from playing ninja in the woods instead of running‚ eating as many Oreos as possible‚ or running away from the seniors as they pelt underclassmen with icy cold water balloons. Canton Girls Cross Country has hundreds of unique traditions‚ but some of them are a bit more painful than others. My least favorite and the most agonizing tradition by far is something we call “Dunes Day‚” or as I like to call it “Doomsday.” This is the day in the

I was completely new to the sport after being persuaded to give it a shot by my more aerobically inclined friends.
