Cross country running?

Yes, you definitely have them everyday except for sunday because that's the only day i get off on my team. it depends on your coach though, for how much you practice. my coach is intense! running is a really low maintenance sport so you probably just need a little bag with about 2 water bottles in it because you will get really thirsty and maybe a little snack like a banana to eat before or after your run. sometimes my coach provides snacks because we burn so many calories on our runs, but you should bring one in case. my practices are 2 hours and the varsity runs twice a day during the summer. most days you will run about 4 or 5 miles on average. on long run days, which are saturday for my team, we run about 6 or 7. it's a hard, love-hate sport, but i'm sure you'll do fine! just don't be tempted to quit when the going gets hard. you have to stick it out! i wanted to quit so many times, but now i love it!
