Team vs. independent?

<p>I ran cross-country for a year at school, but decided that I wasn't competitive/talented enough to really be a part of the team. However I am still and avid runner (40+ miles a week) and devout a lot of time to it. Is this worth mentioning on college applications, even if technically there is no organized sport/team behind it?</p>

<p>of course--it shows devotion to personal fitness and takes up alot of your time</p>
