 * Running, to some people, is fun. The people who think running is fun could join thier schools cross country team. People who join cross country learn what to do before you run, while you run, and after you run.**


 * Before I run, I stretch my arms and legs because if I would pull a muscle, I wouldn't be able to run. I also walk the course that I am running so I know what way to go and not get lost. So that I don't get dehydrated while I run, I drink a lot of water.**


 * While I run, I stay at a good pace so that my heart rate is steady. If I would run to fast, my energy will burn faster and I won't be able to finish. Running fast might also make you not be able to complete the distance you are trying to complete.**


 * Sometimes after I run, I would do a cool down run so that my legs don't hurt as much.When you finish, I would drink a lot of nice, cool, icy water to get rehydrated. Also while running, your body burns more carbohydrates. That is why I eat delicious yellow bananas.**


 * That is what I would do before, during, and after I run.**
