As I was
saying in my last blog post, my track season this year has officially come to
an end and I plan to take a week off before starting to train for my cross
country season. The end of this track season is kind of a big deal to me because
I am a junior this year so now I only have one high school track season left,
ever. I also only have one cross country season left in my high school career
and it is kind of scary to think that my years running cross country and track
will be over soon.
Next
year is not only my last season of high school track and cross country but it
also may be my last seasons of running cross country and track in general. I
really enjoy cross country and track, they are one of my most favorite parts of
high school and I will really miss them. It would be nice to be able to
continue running cross country and track but I don’t think that is going to
work out for me.
College
track and cross country is much more challenging then high school in most cases
and also much more time consuming. I also am not a very good runner so I probably
won’t be able to actually be a part of a college track or high school team not
them I am too disappointed by that because there are some other things that I will
probably want to focus more on in college then track and cross country and I don’t
think I am that dedicated to the sports to continue in college.
While
it may not really be an option for me to run as part of a college cross country
or track team I would still like to continue to run at least on my own when I am
in college. I still really enjoy running and don’t want to completely give it
up so I think I would still want to continue my running in college and if
possible maybe even join some type of running club in college.
I am
really sad that next year is my last season of high school cross country and
track because I enjoy the sports so much and there is still so much that I hoped
to accomplished in the sports that I am yet to accomplish. I hope that I am
able to also enjoy my last seasons in high school and I want to continue to run
even when I graduate. (428)
