Running @ Branson

My legs are totally sore. Yesterday the cross country team of Branson School went on a little trip. They ran from the Branson campus all the way to Stinson Beach, which is a short 14 miles (22.531 km) run. And there was one Swiss student who decided to join them. Guess who it was. Sadly I only managed to run 11 miles (I got taken up in the car of a nice dad for the rest of the way). We started at around 2:30 pm. and by the time I arrived I could already see the sky turning red. It was a hot day and a hard run but the fun, the sea, the food and the feeling of accomplishment at the end totally made up for it. It was a great feeling to jump into the freezing cold water while enjoying the sunset. Only bad thing about it: I got a monster cramp in my right calf. But the whole cross country team is really cool and so I had an awesome day. That definitely was an experience I will remember for a long long time. (LH)
