Cross Country: My favorite sport
I have recently joined the cross country team with in my schools i was rather exciting since i have been running seriously for about 3 years, my fascination with running started when i was Ten years old during my physical education class when we ran the mile, i was astonished that i was the first one(the second person was my twin Carlos), and i realized that i enjoyed distance running so i proceed to practice and improve. My school did not have a cross country team so i decided to train. During winter and spring vacations my older brother who is attending university visited us and we accompanied him to run in our local park, we ran about 3-4 miles every day, during these instances my running improved dramatically. When i joined the cross country team with in our school i was intimidated by my older teammates i thought that i would not be able to finish a race in first place, during our first practice i finished in first place with my twin behind me. During the subsequent practice i have been challenged due to the longer distances and the obstacles that are placed(Stairs and obstacle courses), but these challenges has allowed my fascination with running to expand. I have also improved drastically and i am very thankful for the opportunity that i have been given to run for the cross country team within my school, i also immensely appreciate my two running partners my twin and my older brother.
