Hey, welcome.
I'm 16 and I'm from Maryland. I run cross country, but I'm not all that into it (My best mile time was like 5:30 last year, this year I hurt my knee and hip and was out for about two weeks mid-season which killed me). It helps my wrestling and biking and everything.
Biking really helps your running a lot and, in my opinion, it's more fun, but it will definitely help you. Good luck and your running and your riding.
