I competed in my last high school cross country race -- ever -- last week Saturday.
It was one of the most memorable meets I've ever run. Here's why:
We ran as a pack--six of us smiling and cheering the entire 3.1 miles.
We stuck together the entire race, never leaving each other's side.
....Until it kicked in that we would not be running another race. Then the waterworks came.
We're sad to see it all end.
Literally.
Nothing could ever erase the good memories we have.
