Anonymous asked: Why can we call you Anna?
Some people call me Anna because they can’t remember/pronounce Flannery… I don’t know why, it’s not that hard…
And also this was originally kind of a secret blog but now pretty much all of my followers on my personal blog know about it so there’s no point in not using my real name now.
You know you’re a cross country runner when you don’t even realise you’ve spat on yourself, and have a trail of spittle and phlegm running down your arm, and pausing to care and wipe it off.
Keep running.
If it rains, you run. If it thunders, you run faster.
Anonymous asked: You said you were from NJ, ever ran a meet at Holmdel Park?
Yes, I have, actually… it’s definitely the toughest course I’ve ever run, but probably the prettiest, too. It’s just… the bowl… *shiver*
Why do you run?
Everyone runs for different reasons. Some people do it for the exercise, others for the competition or simply for the feeling of being part of a team. Reply to this post or submit to fyeahxc or hurdlegirlproblems with your reason(s), and they might be featured on one or both blogs. The most creative/heartfelt submissions will be posted. Feel free to include a photo or video as well. (Let me know if you want the photo to be the background for the post.)
