"cross country has shown me the beauty in pain"

I almost didn't run cross country as a freshman because I had always planned to play basketball but I ended up getting cut from that. Turns out getting cut was the best thing that ever happened to me. I continued with cross country no longer seeing it as just conditioning and it's taught me about life. Cross has shown me the beauty in pain and how important it is to keep going no matter what. My teammates are my family and now that I'm fairly successful I'm glad things didn't go the way I wanted them to two years ago. God works in mysterious ways
