Can I do weight cross training followed by long distance running on the same day?

I have a cross training program that involves some weight. But mostly push-ups, pull-ups, and curls (bicep, tricep) and shoulder presses.

Can I perform these cross-training weight workout (about an hour long) then do a distance run (starting at 1 mile, then increasing by .5 miles a week until I’m doing 4-5 miles).

If you care, the cross training weight workouts are the P90X workouts (I love them).

My main reason to do this is to prepare for Cross Country while KEEPING (NOT BUILDING) my muscles.

Thanks.

I have an addiction to running. I run for usually a little over an hour each day. I would run more, but it gets dark around 5 and i get home from school at 3, so time doesn’t allow. On days when I have voice lessons or other plans, however, I sometimes don’t have time to run. What indoor exercise could I do that would actually feel like a workout? I have an elyptical, but after I run on that even for 2 hours I feel like I have done nothing.
