Get the cross countrymug. The most fucking overrated sport of all time, that's also more difficult than any other sport ever (yes, even football). It is terrible, high maintenance, and for you to be a good xc runner you need so much endurance, practice and stamina, because if you don't, you're fucked because they're absolutely NO breaks*/timeouts/whatnot during the races and even the practices.
*includes water breaks.

Get the Cross countrymug. The best sport ever, because there are no skills involved, it is purely a measure of how badly you want to win, and how much and for how long you are willing to sacrifice your body to win. cross country gets hardly any publicity, which makes it so that the athletes aren't doing it for fame or fortune, they are doing it to try and prove that they are tougher than the next guy

Get the cross countrymug. A difficult sport that involves lots of long distance running.  Cross country involves running about 5-12 miles a day for practice, and 5 kilometers for every race at the high school level.  Cross country is somewhat related to track.  However, track is shorter distances over a rubber surface while cross country is a long distance race over grass and/or trails.
