Sample – Running
I’d like to talk about a hobby that I am very passionate about. I’ve been dedicated to
running, which I began practicing about five years ago.
To be more particular, the hobby is about challenging my physical limits, maintaining
fitness, and enjoying the outdoors. Running involves various styles and distances, from sprints to
marathons, on different terrains. Especially, the thing I like most about running is that it allows me
to clear my mind and relieve stress.
As I just mentioned, I picked up this hobby just a few months ago. I was introduced to this
activity by a friend who was a marathon runner and invited me to join a local 5k race.
This hobby has been incredibly beneficial to me, particularly in terms of improving my
physical health, enhancing my mental clarity, and developing a strong sense of discipline and
perseverance.
One of the standout experiences that come to mind is the time I completed my first half
marathon. The feeling of crossing the finish line after months of training was challenging and
profoundly rewarding. It was a moment that not only tested my physical limits but also boosted
my confidence immensely.
In conclusion, running has become a significant part of my life, and I intend to continue
pursuing it because it brings me joy and satisfaction. Whether it’s preparing for another race or
simply enjoying a quiet jog in the park, running provides a consistent source of fulfillment and
personal growth.
