Understanding my theme and blog


My theme for this blog, i would say is "Be happy". Do what you want to make yourself happy. My blog is called A Cross Country Runner's Life becuase i am a serious, hard working cross country runner and it makes me happy. I have been running competitively for about 6 years now and i have loved every minute of it. When im mad, i go for a run. When im stressed, i go for a run. When im bored, i go for a run. Running is a passion to me and it keeps me happy.
 
 
This is a picture of me at a cross country meet when i was in highschool. I miss highschool and my highschool cross country team more than anything. Im smiling in this picture, i have no idea why.
Running might make me happy but it sure is hard. To do what i do you have to have a good mind set, you have to know what you want and just go for it. Nothing's easy, if it was everyone would be doing it. With being a competitive athlete you have to train hard and long. In high school we ran every day, had meets on saturdays, and had sundays off. When i came to college, it was different. we ran 6 days a week no matter what. I went from running 10 miles a week in highschool to running 20-25 at college, it was a big change but it was all worth it when i broke my own record by 30 seconds. You can do anything you set your mind to, you just have to put in work. Nothing comes easy.
