Now that cross country has been done for a month, I should probably get my recap of the season up
I found this year that as much as I love running, I donโt really like racing twice a week. I like leisurely runs much more than practically sprinting for 20 minutes!
At the finals, every school in the Upper Peninsula was there. There were 3 divisions and my school was in Division 1.
I got 4th place and my time was 20:04! So close to breaking 20โฆ It was a very hard course though, so on most other courses I wouldโve been in the 19โs!
Times (we run 5kโs):
8/29: 21:08
9/4: 23:03 (the course was long!)
9/10: 21:12
9/14: 15:44 (4K)
9/21: 20:28
9/24: 20:27
9/28: 21:17
10/3: 20:52
10/10: 20:11 (conference)
10/19: 20:03 (finals)
And now a few 500 pictures from the season
please look at my faceโฆ hahaha

trying to give a thumbs up while dying inside

if only my teeth would ever grow inโฆ
team huddle
โIโm not ready for the picture!โ
I like smiling when I run. At least, when Iโm getting my picture taken.
Hereโs a quote I found on Pinterest and I think itโs perfect. This is why I love cross country so much.
Have a Marvelous Monday, everyone!
Looks like an amazing season!

Aww thanks Emily!
As soon as the camera is down Iโm back to looking like death hahaha. Hope you had a good Monday:)
wow youโre an amazing runner. Did your last teeth fall out really late? I only ask because mine were the same
Thank you! Yes, I lost them in 8th grade! Youโd think they would have grown in by now, but nopeโฆ
Looks like so much fun! Brings me back to my days of xc
It is so much fun!
That is so fast! You go girl.


I usually go long distance, so Iโm definitely not that fast. Iโve tried to run cross county once when I went to the states, and I loved it! It is such a shame we canโt do cross country in Denmark
Are you going to run next season as well then?

Thatโs too bad you canโt do cross country in Denmark! Yes, Iโm running next year! Track will start in the spring, then cross country next fall!
RUN FORREST RUN!! Haha
Love the action shots!

theyโre the best!
Congratulations! I got 3rd this year and it was only a 1.5 km run
the two years before that I came 1st so it was a little weird not finishing in first but it was a fun race. I can NOT believe that you have to run 5km for the cross country race! WOW Iโve ran 2 5kmโs but not at cross country
Great job Emily!! A 5k actually seems short to me.. Iโm used to much longer runs!
