Joining cross country team, advice is appreciated.?

Question

So tomorrow I'm joining the cross country team (conditioning only) for my highschool. We are going to start out running 5miles more or less and I'd like some advice as to how to start out, what to wear, and some advice you think I should use.

Also, I'm not exaclty "fit". I'm a male 6'0'' at 133pounds. (Got a physical yesterday.) My legs are pretty fit, my arms are skinny though don't know if that's important o.0, and my stomach is pretty chubby.

Very important thing: I'm mainly joining b/c I'd like to lsoe some weight and gain some muscle, so advice is very appreciated =-)
