Im scared of joining track team

I say GO FOR IT DUDE!! you won’t regret it cause it has so much to offer: self discipline, self esteem, you make new friends, you find out what your’e good/not so good at. and I know what you mean because I can’t run fast at all because during my races I would always come in last place but hey you know what? despite that I still had fun and that’s why I did track for all four of my high school years. and ya if you want to lose weight while you’re in track trust me you will definately lose it no doubt about it cause your’e always running even if running isn’t one of your events, your’e always getting some kind of work out and I think it always feels good to exercise and do things at our meets.so don’t be scared you’ll have a ton of fun I promise and like you said if your’e joining cause of your girlfriend then maybe the two of you can help each other out like if you decide to do discus maybe she can give you some pointers or maybe you could help her with her stretching. and don’t worry about others making fun of you just because you might not be strong heck I myself lack upper body strength but hey I don’t let that stop me besides 85% of it actually comes from your legs not your arms. I hope I was able to help you if any at all and if you have any questions about track please feel free to funmail me and I’ll be glad to help
