Conversation:
My new obsession is cross country running. I love running out in nature and dirt trails.
Interesting. The courses can pass through several areas like woodlands, hills, or even gravel roads. Are you training for an event?
Yes, I am! I'm training to compete, which most competitions take place in fall and winter, but worried about running when it rains or snows. That will be even more of a challenge.
Oh, that's interesting. Yes, the competitions can be in many different kinds of weather. How long are the courses?
A course can be from 2 1/2 to 7 1/2 miles long. My farthest has been 3 miles so far. Formal competitions go back to a 19th century English game called "Hare and Hound" or "The Paper Chase."
Is that why the runners are sometimes called "harriers?"
That's an interesting fact. Do you also know where the first Cross Country race was held?

Response: Oh yeah, the first game was in London, England.
