The PE coach made me join cross country

I'm a senior now & during my sophomore year my PE coach is the head girls track coach. I would always have great times during the mile during PE & she wouldn't stop bugging me about joining tack. Then one day during class she handed me a pen & told me to sign up & that I couldn't come back into the gym until I did. That season was bad. I made it to conference & that was it. Because I ran long distance she made me go for xc. I hated it during conditioning. But I grew to love it. Fast forward into my last season of high school track & xc & I'm the second fastest girl & I love running those 7 miles for practice & 3.1 for meets. I was able to run my first half marathon & came in at 2:09. Because of her, I am running xc & track in college & I don't regret anything. Xc is my favorite sport because it feels more like a family rather than just a team
