How I missed sport in my life !!! I'm practicing spontaneous and quick writing, so be aware that my mistakes reflect not only my actual level of English, but also the speed I've chosen to write on this topic!!! This time I will speak about sports in my life. Frankly, I'm not a great athlete; I started doing sports when I was comparatively adult man. At school I was quite a weak and lazy kid. In addition to that, I attended a music school and dancing course - both in the course of seven years. So you can imagine that sentimental, slim guy with his mind always getting stuck somewhere in the clouds. Fortunately, my father wasn't agree with this method of raising and since he was a hunter he often took me with him for hunting. That was my only sport at that time, but it should be said that for the 14-years old lad it was quite enough. Sometimes we walked (for) 20 -25 kilometers per day, loaded with things, rifles and provisions, crossing marshes, small rivers, snow hills and thick forests and by the end of the day feeling completely exhausted. Probably thanks to these lessons I still can walk for a long distance without complaining and getting tired. Later on, when I became a student, I found myself in a gym. I tried to catch up on those of my friends and classmates who were real athletes. I started doing karate studies, I learnt how to swim, I quit smoking and started jogging. Some of those things I'm still practicing these days. Yet, this late start still make me sad and when I see kids who achieve great results in sports being so young, I remember my early years when I wasted my time so stupidly. The only thing that comforts me is the saying we have in Russian: "Better late than never".
