Newschoolers, I need your opinion and wisdom once again. I am split between participating in two winter activities, heading up north and skiing vs. heading into the city and running winter track. I know NS is the worst place to bring this subject because of the bias, but I would like to hear your insight.
I’ve been running track and cross-country since freshmen year in high school and I have been pretty successful. My freshman year I quit indoor track, sophomore year I was kicked off the team because I was ‘too committed to skiing’, and last year I ran an entire season, which only enabled me to get up to the mountains about 7-8 times. It is my senior year and my team needs me to break the 4x800meter relay record as to that I am the fourth man on the relay team. Running fast times will also open doors for me; college coaches are interested in my performance, and indoor is the last season that will play into the recruiting process. This may be the last year I run competitively. If I do run I have to be very committed; running workouts in the snow, losing my Saturdays to indoor track meets, training at school throughout winter break, etc. I will still be able to ski if I do run indoor track, but I will only be able to get up a several times in the season and I will not be able to progress b/c of the possibility of getting hurt.
I hate running, but I love racing. But what I am truly passionate about is skiing. I don’t need to inform y’all about the pleasures and addictions of skiing. I am truly split between this decision, and I need more opinions.
I am pretty lost in this decision.
Sparknote: I can either run winter track (and be recruited for college, and not ski), or ski (and have loads of fun my last year in high school)
