im in the exact same situation, ive run xc all three years and im in track right now, im supposed to be the "leader" of the team next year, and a little background of our team is pretty much that we dominate our conference, in hte past 21 years we've won it like 18 years.  The only reason im doing track is for cross country, and in the summer i have to get up every fucking morning and run at least 8 miles, 8 short day, 13 is a long day. And if any of you know anything about running over the country, i live in illinois which has the best field of runners, York wins nationals just about every years, theyve won state for like the past 20 years straight, im just so sick of all the bullshit my coach gives me, hes the most manipulative bastard ever.
