Purpose of Journal

This journal is a convenient way to post schedules and upcoming events, but the primary vision is to capture memories and share how cross country has shaped your personal growth. While you may not always run as many miles as you do now, we hope that the character traits that you develop during your cross country experience will become a permanent part of who you are. We want you to share your memories, humorous events, break-through races, and wisdom and learning gained through your running-related experiences with the pirate cross country community.

This blog will be read by team members, alumni, coaches, family, fans, community members, and who knows who else. However, team members, alumni, and coaches will be the only authors. This is not a place for meaningless banter - rather it is a place for you to share ways that cross country has impacted your life. Write with depth and style. If you are unsure whether your content is appropriate, ask one of the coaches prior to posting. When submitting, always label your post (bottom right hand corner) with a word or two that will help categorize your post.
