Cross Country

Today we had the Cross Country at school. We have to run 3km.

The corse goes around the beaches and along the bike track. I'll see if I can find a map of it for you.

You'd better apreciate this map - it's taking for ever to sort out.

And here it is...

It doesn't look like far here, but it feels like a really long way when you're running it. And guess what??? I came sixth!!!

Now, to you, sixth might not sound too good. But let me remind you that it is compulsary to do the cross country, which means I was racing against around 40 people (all the girls in my grade). So thats sixth out of forty. And to make it even better, there were some pretty good runners coming in after me!

To me, sixth is just good enough. Its good enough that people think, 'wow, thats good'. And even more inportant than that; its good enough to get to go to the interschools!!!
