A and His Ball
I’m not a sporty one, well really not into the sport to begin with.
This post to answer BEC weekly challenge about what kind of sport do I choose.
I remember how my father tried so hard with all his might to get me to do any kind of sport. I grew up as a kid that chose books than any outdoor activities. I spent spare time during my school years reading books from school and library, read magazines and comic books. Quite contrary with my father that even run a Pencak Silat school. Well not one with a well-known name and branches everywhere, but every Thursday evening, there were twenty to thirty people gathered in a field near our house back then and my father trained them.
Well, that was me.
Am I any different now?
Nope. Not a bit. At least not before A came to my life.
It is funny though. To think about it, I have never interested to do any sport for the sake of my health. I always did it for other purposes. There were times when I hit the gym three times a week, hired a personal trainer so that I can look good on my wedding day. A bit further back then, I tried to learn swimming so that I could have a L-Men body shape (which of course failed miserably – I didn’t know how to swim exactly).
But now, with A around'”, I started to think that I want to be a healthy person. Strong enough to run beside him when he grows older. To be his partner and to accompany him as long as God let me. Looking down at my belly I know that something must change. So instead of back to the gym, I choose the easiest and simplest sport. Running.
It only needs a shoe and yes to get the style of a more advanced runner I use my cell phone, headphone and those stuffs, just to look good. 😛
So let’s just say that running and I are meant to be together. I love it and I definitely will do more out of it. Well, I have skipped my schedule for the last two weeks. In my defense, this is all because of this unusual rainy season that last until this April. Heavy rains always come during my running session or right before I start.
But, I can say I will still run for many kilometers as long as my legs let me. 😀
What about you? What kind of sport do you choose?

The same only sport I only enjoy and can do haha. Running or in other term we can say jogging is very simple, affordable, and easy sport. Every morning I often went jogging on February. But, now, I become rarely to go jogging because either I am reluctant to do it or I have to do many hard assignments from lecture. 😀

untuk lari yg maksimal emang harus stylish..

OMG dannn…. this is the second time already I click unfollow button accidently. No wonder I didnt see your post in my readers. I noticed it when I submit my post in the ilinks and I saw yours there but wondering why it didn’t appear in my timeline. Sorry dan, I have to follow you again.
Anyway,I think running is the best sport so far. Its healthy and its free. I love running too but kinda difficult to find the right place now.alesan lol

lari bukan olahraga saya… waktu sekolah, setiap ada pengambilan nilai lari… waktu tempuh saya di bawah rata-rata 🙁
Beby
Dan sekarang lari jadi olahraga yang digandrungi banyak orang ya, Bang.. 😀 Kebanyakan orang di kompleks deket rumah pada lari-lari sore sambil ngajak anaknya.. 😀
Aku ngga bisa lari, soalnya kaki kiri bermasalah. Paling jalan doank 😛

I just like your reason for running. Not just for being healthy, but you run for people you love and the people who love you. And when the activity’s done in the name of love… the result will be outstanding.
