What are your favorite sports to watch and play?
I never played sports except when I had to in school. I was a very shy kid and would have preferred to be invisible when it came to participating in team sports. When I had to play, I was always one of the last kids chosen to be on the team. I did enjoy swimming, tennis, badminton, and ping pong.
As an adult, I was talked into playing on my company’s volleyball team one year. I like volleyball but wasn’t especially good at it and besides, the ball hurts!
My husband watches all kinds of sports on TV – football, basketball, soccer, hockey – even golf. He doesn’t watch baseball, the game he played as a kid. I think baseball games are too slow-moving.
We have been to professional football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and soccer games. Even if you aren’t an avid sports fan, the atmosphere is entertaining. I like watching basketball the most.
Because I am not athletic, I prefer individual sports to team sports. I don’t want my performance to drag anyone else down.
I just signed up for my running club’s winter Frozen Challenge, which began yesterday and goes until the end of March. I committed to running 10 miles a week. I was put on a team that includes people who will run up to 40 miles a week. I don’t have to worry about not being a great runner. I just have to meet my modest goal.
