So we've all been there. That moment when you're breathing hard and about ready stop so you can get a drink of water, race be damned, as you huff it up that last hill. If you're like me, you know that all fades away when you see the finish line at Leagues, leaving nothing but the burning need to puke, pass out, and cry your eyes out while lamenting you choice of sport.

Reasons why you should join cross country.

My experience through my 5 cross country races in 2013! As well as all the running races to come.

Look. At. The. Title. Sorry if it turns into ranting at some points.

Problems cross country runners understand. (Check out @Kb73002's book, we had the same idea so the books will probably be similar lol)

A rant book about running from cross country and track and field will be updated weekly.

Are you a Cross Country Runner? Then you'll get this book like chicken gets gravy. Or like spikes get dirt stuck in them.

What's it like to run cross country? It's harder than you think. 100 bits of the life of a cross country runner.

This is the Cross Country rule book. It's full of funny stories and rules that my team and I have made up. It should be full of laughs and maybe in a couple of years tears too.
