Metro Meet

            As most of you know I run on the cross country team. We have been training since the beginning of the summer for the season. Today was the JV's last competing meet. It was sad to know that this was the end of the season, but it was relieving to know that we had finished strong. I ran in the open race today and ran the two mile course. It was challenging, as always, but was fun since it was our last meet. I ran hard and finished the two miles in 20:18 (twenty minutes and eighteen seconds). For me that was a PR (a personal record)! 

            I ran and ran and ran until I felt as though I couldn't move my feet anymore. But then I saw the finish line. I looked toward the line and ran as hard as my feet would muster, breathing hard, in and out. The finish was so close to my reach and was only a quarter of a mile awake. You will finish strong I continued to think as I raced to the finish. Finally I crossed the line and felt amazing, I had finished my last race of the season with a bang. I am now ready to go to the state meet to cheer on my teammates in their race to the finish.
