I <3 track. I ran middle distance in high school and loved it. I wasn't quite good enough for the college team, though (4:36 1600m and 2:02 800m). I still run a little for fun, and I do occasional road races, and every year I do the WasatchBack relay (190 mile relay race through the mountains). Road racing is just not quite as fun without the team and fierce competition of track, though.
