Cross Country Running

Hello all,

I am Scarrlet and this is my blog about running. I decided to create this blog because I couldn't really find any happy blogs about running. I'll start with telling you a bit about myself, shall I?

I am a sophomore in high school and I'm 14 years old. This is my second year running cross country. Last year I joined late and I have been injured with shin splints ever since (but keep running). I have never missed a single cross country or track meet. My times in cross country weren't all that great. I got 22:16 in my third race and that has been my PR(personal record) ever since. In track I ran the 400, 200, 4x400 relay, and 4x100 relay. My best 400 time was 63.3 and 200 was 28.05.

Between cross country and track I'd have to say that I like track better. It's a lot of fun and I'm pretty good at it. However, this summer (seeing as I joined at the correct time) I have been doing amazing in cross country. We have a team of 110 girls and the top 20 are known as "the fast people". This year I'm considered to be "a fast person" up there in the top 20. It's really exciting!

I have made so many friends and have had so many great memories from this sport and I love it to death (some times seeming to be literally). I'm looking forward to this next season and all the great memories and experiences I'll gain from it.
