My favorite pastime“What is your favorite pastime?” If you ask me this question ,I would answer “running” without hesitation.Running, as a sport, appeals to me so much that I feel I can’t live without it. At first, I ran just because I wanted to loose weight. But then I found that I fell in love with it though there was no change about my figure. Now , it doesn’t matter. I just like running. Here are the reasons.In the first place, running , as a form of relaxation, it takes my mind away from academic pressure. All my frustration , worries and sadness are gone like mist and smoke and I feel free just like a bird. The feeling is definitely excellent. Secondly, I can think or imagine many things in my mind when running, which are usually not limited to study and it may be illusion. This makes me very happy. What’s more, I may hear or see something during running time .For example, one day, I heard a boy asked his mother : “Why should I run on the fourth running track?” His mother said: “Because Liu Xiang runs on the fourth running track.” Hearing that, I burst into laughter. What’s the link? It’s funny and it’s a bonus, right? Furthermore, I make a habit of running half an hour every day. It’s something I want to continue whether it’s cold or hot and whether I am happy or not. I just run. It gives me patients and I’m thinking I’m persisting in doing something .Last but by no means the least, Irun, I sweat, so I have a good appetite as well as sleep which many people envy so much. Yes, I’m also healthy and happy, so how can I dislike running?In the end, I want to say: “Running is my favorite pastime, It’s worth making a habit of it and you will benefit all your life.
