Cross Country Training

Here in Te Ngahere we have been practicing for cross country. The first time we practised I felt so nervous. As we were running my legs started to hurt but then I realised that if I keep breathing I could keep on pushing myself. We had to run a fair distance but we got told that the track that we will be running through is longer than we had to run for training. My first time was 7:19, and I knew that I could get a better time than that. The next time we practised I got 5:45 and I felt so happy that I bet my time by 2 minutes. I was sure that I could beat 5:45 . My goal was to keep on running non - stop.  I was so happy to hear that I bet my time, I got 5:22 and then the next run I got 5:13. My very last time I got 5:25 as the field was very muddy and I think that everyone was trying not to slip over. I really enjoyed cross country training because It made me be a better runner.
