- to see the little things that are easily overlooked
- to bust old PRs
- to win my age group
- to lose my age group, but still have fun
- to meet new people
- to get over old people
- to see the city
- to save money on gas
- to get fresh air in my lungs

I love cross country courses that are clearly marked with cones. I have had a few that I thought I was going into the woods and never coming out.
