Cynthia and Lisa, a couple of college cross country runners of my acquaintance, were sitting in the dorm cafeteria discussing their Sunday morning long run. A young romeo inserted himself into their conversation and asked if he could go with them on their run, not realizing who they were. To get rid of him, they agreed. \n\nCome Sunday morning, they all went out, off-campus, into an uninhabited area where the poor lad had never been before. At that point, the women went into another gear for the return trip. The poor boy was left busting his gut, trying to keep them in sight because without them, he didn't know his way back to campus.

I ran cross country for several years in high school, and was never able to make it past regionals because we didn't have enough girls to enter as a team. I think cross country's lack of popularity boils down to this: its extremely hard work if you want to do well, its individual, so all the credit/blame goes to you, and there isn't the fame and glory because people can't exactly watch you during the whole of a cross country race. However, it has one thing going for it - your body will be freakin' AMAZING after a year or so of constant running!!!

Well lets see it's the best sport ever!!!!!!! Lots of awesome riders and it's super fun to do. I love Motocross, Riding is exhilarating and thrilling makes you feel the ultimate Adrenalin rush. Broke my scaphoid(wrist) in a slide out corner, but was worth it. Freedom... as it is a bike, and you can go super fast as well as jumping these machines to unbelievable heights. I've try ed all different types of bikes for ex. Honda 80cc,200,250,Kawasaki 100,and the latest bike I've ridden is Yamaha 450F. This bike is way too big for me but it is still thrilling to try out.My Old bike was a Honda 200xr and it was a great learning bike. But I like to jump and you need better suspension. So I'm in the midst of buying a new one. For now I ride My mans Honda 250cr for fun. This bike is too hairy for me , as I'm not that big of a body type to ride such a beast. If you ever get the chance to go to a show you should check it out you wont be disappointed. You can always rent bikes as well, but make sure you wear all the protective gear.Enjoy and let loose:).

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.

Definitely, Talladegega, Alabama! The fastest, most exciting racing happens there and it's only 20 miles from my house!

I live two blocks from our local dirt track and grew up 3 miles from Eldora. I love Sprints, both wing and non wing. The Outlaws rock and King's Royal is a great way to spend a weekend. I also like Drag and NASCAR racing. It is such an awesome sport.

I love it,\n\nits very easy to do, very cheap to start out, you dont need much specialized equipment - just shoes!\nI love that its both very social and very individual.  I do distance runs, and sometimes there are thousands of people together; but in the end, you have to do it all on your own, there are no teammates to carry you if you have a bad day.

Yes!! I go to the 2 races here in Texas every year. I also make sure my schedule works around the races(crazy.. yup!).  Another question is who is your favorite driver and what race did you go to?

Geeze...\nTalk about apples and oranges *L*\n\nI rockclimb so I'm obviously biased on the recreation.\nNote that I mentioned it as a recreation.

I am an absolute diehard fan! Something about that sport just clicks with me...I watch all the races I can and don't move an inch until it's over! I love the suspence and the action, and rooting for my favorite drivers. My love for the sport is pure...I don't watch because any drivers are attractive...I watch because of driving skills! I'll admit that you have to get used to the sport before you really know what's going on...when I first started watching it, I had no idea what was happening! But I kept watching more races and caught on to all the racing terms, car parts, and drivers. Now, I know a whole lot about it and can't imagine not knowing at one time! NASCAR is a great sport that, in my opinion, couldn't get any better if they tried. It's not a redneck sport, either. My life couldn't be more non-hillbilly...and I just love NASCAR. It's a sport anybody could get into and enjoy. NASCAR is #1!!!

One of my favorite childhood memories is when my parents would take us on Saturday nites to visit with my favorite aunt and uncle. My uncle was a huge country fan and a huge\nBuck Owens fan so all nite he'd play what we now call "old country". The party would wind down and everyone would crash on couches etc and every Sunday morning my uncle would sneak over to the stereo before everyone was up and blast out some country to wake us up. I woke up a lot of Sunday mornings to "Together Again" or "I've got a tiger by the tail" - good times. Thank You Mr. Owens - please say to my Uncle Bud up there, he'd like to shake your hand.\n\nI also heard that she showed up to perform Friday nite but decided he wasn't feeling well so he left but while he was walking to his car in the parking lot, a couple from Oregon said they had come all the way to see him so he went back and did a show for them. Now that's an entertainer!

I actually started out watching and attending NHRA events my sophomore year in HS. I had a boyfriend and a best friend who race, and a matter of fact, they still do. I go a few times a year---Super Chevy, Night Under Fire, Spring Nationals. Then I got into NASCAR and Sprints. I love it all!!!

I love it.  I have been skiing for over 40 years and hope to be able to continue skiing for at least another 20 years.  Alpine skiing is exhilerating.  Cross country skiing is certainly an excellent aerobic exercise.\nSome of the places where I have enjoyed skiing are in Quebec: Mt. Tremblant, Mont Ste. Anne; and in Kitzbuehel, Austria.

My favorite was back in 2003.  My friends and myself rented a motor home and had the infield.  Fantastic time!  We spent nearly a week infield. I am a Dale Jarrett fan and my first time in the infield he won.  We were on top of the motor home and when it looked like he may win I walked out to the fence between turn 3 & 4 to see the last 40 laps.  Well I was sporting my #88 hat and shirt got razzed alot.  But I will tell you when he won, I think everyone that was in the infiled must have come to shake my hand.  Cool people.   I had 'haters' offering me victory cocktails.  That day was the finest.  \n\nThat was back when Dale Sr. had just died and everyone held up the 3 fingers and silent moment, all 180,000 people were silent...incredible.  We sat in the Pit Terrace for the start of that race.  I had my picture taken in the Winners circle (before the race of course).  I had my pitcure taken with Jr's pit crew, that was cool!  I was lucky enough to be infield to wake up to the smells of fresh coffee brewing, bacon cooking and the roar of the cars practicing.  Wonderful memories!   Now MIS is something I do each and every year.  There is nothing better than the fans, the drivers and the expierence to be there in person to see them blow by.  I love NASCAR!!

I LOVE it!  Those who think it is boring & just a bunch of guys driving in circles for 3 hours obviously don't get it.  You want drama - nascar has it.  Just look at the deal with Gordon/Kenseth last week.  Or Kevin Harvick or Tony Stewart or the #48 team.  Passion, drama, excitement & dedication - this sport has it all.  Millions of people follow it and make treks to races.  Hell - I'm going halfway across the country next week just to see them tear it up in the lone star state!  You will not find a more dedicated, loyal, & fun fan base as you do in nascar.
