Cross Country: as far as I can go

Two words.  Cross country.  It started out for me as an idea to participate so I could put it as a sport on my college application.  I'm rethinking my idea.  Today was my second day.  I told my mom yesterday that that was the most I had ever run in my life.  They had us run a mile as a warm up.  And I had a hard time recovering from even that. But I was told that after a week, it get's better.  So, I'm going out on faith.   I'm going to go as far as I can go.
