I’m a sportsman but not an athlete. Sports because I really love doing physical activities and I’m really adventurous. I love pushing myself to the limits. So I involve myself to different discipline of sports.
But I’m not an athlete. Why? Because I never experience compete in sport competition—well, per se I did compete but not in higher level like regional and national competition, much more to international competition. I dream of it but maybe I was not just given the break to be in the higher level of competition.
I’m at 40’s now but I never have a bulky body. In fact, my heaviest body weight is 62 kilograms and its only now. My height is 5’5” and so I should be in 65 kg. Thanks goodness my body formation is really slim. I think this is the thing they call sexy, urm.
So, what are the sports I have been to except the traditional games I played when I was in school.
Martial Arts. That is right, when I was still teenager, we have a friend who practice us karate. You know, in that year, karate is best sports. I do that disciple until I was 35 years old. But because I did it for fun and self-defense, I reached only first class brown belt though my last sensei said I should be second dan black belter. Aside from Karate, I practice arnis and little bit of judo.
Running. Running is my second serious sports. This is where I competed. I have been in many national Fun Run and Marathon. I have run and compete 3K, 5K, 10K 21K and 24 kilometers. Too bad I did not yet experience the ultimate 42K or full marathon. I’m still in running until now so I think I can still make it 42K. This is my ultimate dream.
Biking. This is the informal sports I’m into. Never competed and never participated in bigger event. But I started with BMX when I was a kid and until now I do still biking. Wanna be in competition someday.
This is my sports.
There is still one sport I wanna be involve and compete. I wanna be in Triathlon someday.###

an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
Sports make men active and healthy on earth and thus ms's all organs remain in motion and life of the life organs'life lies in motion and if anything is not not in motion is dead on earth.
Sport and recreation entail activities that help to develop life skills, abilities, talents and improve the general health of the body. Such activities may be used as sources of income, to have fun and to stay physically fit. Sport and recreation activities include soccer, basketball, swimming, aerobics, yoga, tennis, dancing, hockey, golf, cycling and mountain biking, running, listening to music and many others.
Sport and recreation activities can also be used to have fun and during leisure time. Some activities, such as swimming, cycling and running, are used to stay physically fit by shedding calories. Moreover, sport and recreation activities also offer a chance for people to travel, interact with new people and improve life skills. Recreational activities may also be used to help with curbing stress and during rehab programs.
Well buddy, this is the very real reason why do I involve myself in sports. Its not only for the health benefits that I do it but also for the physicality. When we do sports, we are quicker in or moves and we are thinkfull. Its emotionally and physically good for us. And because of that, I was really into sports since I was kid. And as I have said, not to become a competitive, I am sportsman though not an athlete.

It seems interesting and I am impressed as you are doing very well. You must be enjoying good health as a result of these great activities.
One must involve oneself in such useful activities as you did in order to maintain one's health.
I want to run and I do love running but we do not have any proper place for such type of activity in our city.
I am enjoying. Actually my involvement to sports in not only for health benefits or for physical benefits. Its my passion. I am doing because I love it. My passion that it gives me satisfaction every time I finish the line or reach the last kilometers of the run. You love doing it no matter how hard you made it.
I would rather place your activities under 'exercise' as sports normally involves competition.
Though I used the word competition, but I think its too pressing for me. Why? Because though we participate in the competition but we are not in the place to win. For example, we participate in the marathon not to become the first or second or third person to finish the line. We know we are not going to win the race, we know the people stronger and faster than us will come first in the finish line. We know we are going to lost.
But why we are in the competition, because we just wanted to finish the race. The competition is within us, within ourselves: finishing the race, fulfilling the personal best time, and follow the passion of our lives. If we finish the race, we win, we defeated our own self.
When I was still in high school, I do love sports as a form of exercise. Brisk walking is the only thing that I can do right now. Right after college, I became a busy person. There is no time to play but brisk walking can still be achievable. Some people would not comprehend the reality of life. That is, balancing the lives to live to the fullest.
I like the last line you made. I'm a busy person too, I have a full time job, my part time is writing here in social writing sites, I also write narrative story in Ilocano which I publish in magazines and newspapers, and compete with writing contest.
But I think its been my life, to be balance with my work and my passion-- and one of the passion of my life is sports.
Actually u don't have to be an athlete to engage in sports. It should be a normal routine just like eating and respirating because sports keeps one fit, and I believe that is why you're still very healthy even at your 40s.
