I just started xc this year. I am in junior high but run on the high school team. I'm the only one in my family that runs, and i love it! my best 5k this year was 21:13. I ran that at the region meet and took 11th place.
Short-Term Running Goals:
My next short-term running goal... hm... well next year on track and cross country, the girls my age will be running on the high school team, right now i'm the only freshman on my team, my next goal is to beat kelsie bird. She is really fast but she is not getting the kind of training that i am because she is just running for the junior high this year.
Long-Term Running Goals:
I would really like to run a marathon someday. I might even want to do a half with my aunt.
