This is so well written, and it perfectly describes what it's like to be any kind of runner, especially a cross country runner! I hate the start of a race too!

That was really well written and completly true. I run indoor and outdoor track, and you do develop close bonds with everyone on the team.

Yes! I absolutely love it. XCers represent. I really love it, you capture the true meaning of running in this essay. Although I'd have to say that I'm a bit shocked that you didn't mention throwing up after a meet. To me that's the best part. Especially when the guy behind you is so tired that he doesn't even notice that he stepped in it...nevermind. It's good.

I love to run too. I do cross country and track. Your essay is extremely well written, and very true. Running is such a individual sport, I believe that is why I like it so much.
I like the part where you talk knots in runing. Knots on your shoes, and knots that form you with people. During XC, we became so close with one another. I just had to share that with you.
LOL the storm part cracked me up. I live in Florida with the most dangerous lightening in the world, and I had to run two miles back to school in that storm. People gave me the funniest looks.
I'm adding this as a fave story. It's utterly amazing!
