Heart pounding‚ sweat dripping‚ heavy breathing‚ legs moving. We run‚ run‚ and then run some more until Coach says we’re done. We dare not ask why as we know what we’ll get: more running. We pound the pavement‚ grass‚ mud‚ trails-virtually anything that we can. Flat‚ steep‚ slippery‚ gravelly‚ you name it: we run it. Why do it? Why run Cross Country?
