The second thing that I have attended for learning outside the classroom was the Heidelberg Cross Country Meet. This would be like my fifth cross country meet I have attended in my life and they are different than football or volleyball. I like cross country meets get some walking in and cheer them on and watch people do something as simple as running and have fun. The athletes get to run on some pretty cool courses some places so I think it is neat. There are multiple reasons why I choose to go to this event.

I stood towards the finish line with a group of people and they were surprised to how well there were doing also and how far some of the runners were out front of the others. Plus we talked about how the girls were doing really well, but they expected that because one of the girls did a great job last year. I am defiantly going to attend another one of these events in the near future. A similar event I play to attend will be some indoor track meets
