Cross Country

Cross Country recount

It was our Ngatea school Cross Country day T3 W6 on a Tuesday.

On our school Cross Country day I had a sore foot so I did not do Cross Country.

Next year I want to achieve my personal goal of doing Cross Country, and trying my best in it.

Last year when it was cross country I had a problem with my right foot, this year I have a problem with my left.

This meant I did not do Cross Country in two years in a row, I like doing Cross Country so when I’m older I want to be able run fast and still do lots of sports. I still did the first two weeks of training for the big day, but then I no longer could do the block run.

I was still really proud of my brother this year because he really gave it his all in going as fast as he could go, he made it into Hauraki Plains for the 8 year old boys and from there he made it into TV.

I have only made it into Hauraki Plains for Cross Country, so I felt really happy that my brother participated in TV. I told him that he had broke the family kids Cross Country record out of the three of us for going to TV.

I wish to participate in cross country next year, but for now I’m not so worried about not going the last two years.

While I wasn’t doing it, I stayed at my dad's work. I stayed in the sick bay till 10:30 then I got to sit in the doctor's room for the rest of the day, I played on my computer and finished my book from home.

I was playing on my computer at 1:30 then I heard my mum's voice, she’d come to pick me up early. She had finished work early, she said she didn’t feel too well. After all that we went to roam round the Ngatea op shop.

It was that afternoon that I found out my brother had made it to Hauraki, that was my cross country day.
