Cross country is one of the hardest sports I ever joined. You have to keep running and it’s non stop. Everyday I suffer and sacrifice myself by running with the pain I have everyday from my legs and feet. Everyday I think about quitting every practice, every race, All the time. That is normal because it is hard work and you can never give up. It was what you have to avoid from saying “I can’t do it“ it is not worth having that kind of self esteem holding on to you. That kind of self esteem puts you down. You can never put yourself down. It is the encouragement that you force yourself to do it and never stop.
