Cross Country Run

As a DP student wanting to take a step over fitness and endurance,this experience was a perfect opportunity to have a first time experience in a marathon or running event making me a bit curious and scared or whether if not my physical fitness is good enough,moreover this event was energising and cheerful as it was in the morning near to nature with freshening atmosphere however there were many challenges throughout the experience as there were 3-4 sets on different days each with an increase in the total distance,I do not have any exercises and endurance drills in my daily routine so the first day of the experience was exhausting and tiring and a bit difficult to finish,also the sudden temperature rise made the environment very hot leading to more sweating and making the task more difficult however for the upcoming days i was prepared and warmed up so the next  three sets weren’t to difficult for me to finish.
