I almost didn't run Cross Country

I almost didn't run cross country because I had torn both of my acl's playing soccer and didn't think I could be successful in any other sport again. My best friend who is a state Xc runner convinced me to try it out and I ended up loving it. I learned its not always about winning the race, but about improving yourself and for my first season junior year I PR'd every race and my only regret is that I didn't start Xc sooner.
