Cross country practice

Today, we continued our cross country practice after a day off school. My goal was to do seven laps and finally, I did it (Well, sort of)! I was close to the finish line for seven laps when the teacher called out the final countdown, "3, 2, 1!". I sprinted to get there, but I couldn't reach the finish line. I was so close! My teacher said that since I was very close to the finish line, she counted that lap. Well, at that time, I couldn't feel my knees. Before I sprinted, my knees were like jelly, but I sprinted because I really wanted my running team to win and also because I was so close to the finish line! I hope I do better at the real cross country!
