track;;high jump
the (gym) teachers @ my school begged my last year to join track, i went to a practice and almost died with the warm up (1/2 mile) and they are begging me again this year. they want to teach me to do the high-jump. i've been walking/jogging/running on my treadmill lately.
i would join track, but i don't like the fact of being with alot of other people && if i did high jump they would watch me <-- my biggest fear!!
i'd like to join track, mainly for the exercise, but i don't want to go to the meets.

idk
i'm confused
any advice=awesome!

ok track is always going to be hard the first week or so believe me i was sore all week but after that you only do the events that u will do in the meet like i cant sprint at all and the first week i sprint so much because im long distance. and as for high jump its not as scary of all the people watching you i don't do it but my friend said she was scared for the same reason and she said that its not that scary. and she wins all the time

they can't make you join. if you're really not ready, then don't. maybe you could practice more and then join next year. its up to you

hey hun. I do 2 seasons of track and let me tell you its so much fun and you get to meet so many new people. but along with that does come the stress, especially with high jump (I do high jump too). but stress come with any sport you do, especially in high school. you just cant let it get to you. you sound confident in your running, and the training youve done on your own is good. if you dont think you can handle runing a lot, why not try sprints? and if your good at high jump, chances are youll be good at hurdles as well (i do those too ;-) ) as for high jump, what really helps me is to clear my mind right before im about to take my jump and pretend that no one else is there and its just me and the bar. i bet nobody watching you could even attempt to jump, so they have no reason to make fun of you. i really think you should try it out. if you like it thats awesome! if you dont, you can always quit, nobody can make you do anything you dont want to. but believe me, the best feeling is to be running and having everyone cheer for you and to feel amazing inside. :-) try it out, youve got nothing to lose!

Well, first of all, you have to think about what YOU want, not what your P.E. teachers want. That's a start. =]
Next, you have to understand that you're going to have to be committed to your team so you can't just join and not go to the meets..lol.
Also, think about the pro's and con's. Sounds like great exercise! So it could be a great weight-loss or muscle-building kinda thing. It will keep you motivated and will probably make you healthier. But, then you have to think about the efforts & practice you'll have to put into it.
If you're OK with all of these things or somewhat OK with them, then I definitely recommend that you join the team! If not, you may want to reconsider or just say "no thanks."
-- Good luck!

And find yourself your own running area.
