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 don’t 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 20… It was a very hard course though, so on most other courses I would’ve been in the 19’s!
Times (we run 5k’s):
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 face… hahaha
dying
trying to give a thumbs up while dying inside
face of “why do I run”
finishing in the rain!
trying not to trip and fall
if only my teeth would ever grow in…
team huddle
“I’m not ready for the picture!”
I like smiling when I run. At least, when I’m getting my picture taken. 😉
Here’s a quote I found on Pinterest and I think it’s 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 I’m back to looking like death hahaha. Hope you had a good Monday:)
wow you’re 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! You’d think they would have grown in by now, but nope…
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 I’m definitely not that fast. I’ve tried to run cross county once when I went to the states, and I loved it! It is such a shame we can’t do cross country in Denmark 🙁
Are you going to run next season as well then?

That’s too bad you can’t do cross country in Denmark! Yes, I’m running next year! Track will start in the spring, then cross country next fall!
RUN FORREST RUN!! Haha 😉 Love the action shots!

Hehehehe 🙂 they’re 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 I’ve ran 2 5km’s but not at cross country
Great job Emily!! A 5k actually seems short to me.. I’m used to much longer runs! 🙂
