On Thursday the 8th of August the whole school was at the Cutler’s farm for Cross country. To get to the farm, we had to walk down a muddy and smelly track. When all of the students were there, we all walked over to the gazebo to start the races. First went the seniors, next the juniors. We were second to last to run .
When Mrs Watson yelled, “GO!”, we all ran through the mud and nearly slipped over. When we came to the plank, I felt like I was going to fall… and I nearly did! But I kept on running again. Finally, we got to the hill. I tumbled down, but i got up again. Then I passed where Sittie was standing. At the trough I passed Mrs Ryken, and there was a MASSIVE pile of mud just before the finish line. I came first place! I was relieved that it was finally over. It was a long, long, long run and I was so tired. I just wanted to go to sleep. But I felt fit and like I could run more (even though I didn't want to).
I loved slipping and sliding through the mud. It was fun… And funny too, for some reason. I really enjoyed cross country. I always love cross country. It's fun and I want to do it again next year. YAY!
