I asked the same question myself...and even sent an email to Yahoo about it. I am a runner and would love a place here on Yahoo Answers.

Cross country and track. I know they seem really hard, but it is sooo much fun if you enjoy running. You make tons of friends, and you get so much out of it if you put a lot of effort into it.

YES, track is a real sport -- In fact, it is probably the most pure sport in existence.  It's the only non-subjective competition around.  There are no rules, no equipment, and nowhere to place the blame if you lose.\n\nIt is simply "who is the fastest?"  or in distance events, "Who can run the best race?"

Cross Country and Track are Awesome!\n\nWhen I was a Junior in High School I ran 15:09 for 5k.  I was State Champion my Senior year in Cross Country.  I was a 5 time State Champion in Track (2 State Records 1600/3200).\n\nMy PRs are: 400: 50.7; 800: 153.4; Mile: 4:11; 3000m: 8:44; 5 Mile: 25:27; 10k: 33:08; 10 Mile 53:43; and Marathon: 3:28\n\nOh and I have been a die hard Nike fan for years!!!\n\nAlso, Cross Country is better than Lacrosse, as a matter of fact in college I had several Lacrosse players get mad at me for beating one of there players in a contest!\n\n"Distance Runners Keep It Up Longer"

I don't think so because these are some of the most talented and battle tested athletes in the world. They put their bodies through more rigorous training regiments then any other sport.  They run times and jump lengths that we can only imagine about.  Its a shame that it doesn't get more televised air play because the track meets are definitely exciting

Cross Country is in the fall...it's only running, track is in the spring, it's track events, like running, and track & field is the same as track, but it includes field events like shot put and discus.\n\nIf you want to be in those next year at your school, run 2 to 3 miles per day over the summer. That will get you ready.

Most recent world record in the 100 meters is 9.76 seconds.  That equates to 22.92 miles per hour.  That's pretty darned fast, but they can't sustain those speeds for long.\n\nScientific American magazine printed an article showing the time trends of a variety of world record performances, and it was a very slow, but linear trend downwards -- i.e., the times to cover specific distances in world class performances was trending steadily downwards.  No estimate of a human physical limit, but an interesting study nonetheless.\n\nThe most amazing thing in that study was the spectacular performance of Bob Beamon in the long jump at Mexico City in 1968.  His leap put him something like 20-25 years ahead of the statistical trend for the long jump, and it took that long for the rest of the world to "catch up".

I love soccer (futbol) and running.  I cannot get enough of both.  I am not at all good at soccer but love it.  Especially the World Cup.  I love long distance running and track and field running.
