Running: Who does that?
Honestly, who likes to run? What do you think when someone wants to go run for fun? I used to think that running was pointless. Then one summer I decided to try it just to see how out of shape I was. I got quite a good work out that fall, so I joined the cross country team to stay in shape for basketball.
The first week was hell. The only thing that kept me in it was the thought of how ready I would be when basketball season came around. That summer I didn’t prepare for my cross country season at all. I only ran about ten miles, and when I ran them I only ran one or two miles at a time. When practice finally started I found out many of the rest of the boys ran one-hundred miles or more; I felt so unprepared when I heard that. The first day wasn’t so bad -- we only ran about three miles. But then I realized that we were going to be running everyday, and I wasn’t going to have any time to recover. The next day we ran four miles, then five, then four again, and we ended the week with three miles. By about the middle of the week my legs were shot.

Then, just as I thought I would get a break over the weekend, my coach told us there was a “fun run” on Saturday.
The fun run was the Yellow Rose 5-K in the neighboring town of Warroad. If I wasn’t so sore from my first week of practice, that run would have been a good estimation of what I could do during the season. But since I almost doubled my summer miles in the first week of practice, that race was terrible for me. During the race, I cramped up in some spots, and I couldn’t really catch my breath. I even had to walk a little bit because the cramps in my side hurt so badly. It felt like someone was constantly jabbing knives in my side, and the only thing that made it better was to stop. It took me a little over twenty-four minutes to run it. If I...
