Lucia's hobby: Athletics

I love all kind of sports but my favourite one is athletics. It was the first specialty of Olympics and it has been an important part of its history. It has a great variety of events divided into three categories; running, jumping and throwing.

At first sight, I know athletics may seems boring but when you try it, you can't stop. The category I practise six times a week with my team is running. There are three distance categories: sprints, middle-distance and long-distance. Inside them you can find a great variety of races: mountain, field, road.... Moreover, you can discover some strage long-distance races that you have never heard about such as the 100 kilometers or the 24-hour races. 

In my opinion, athletics is the best sport. Actually, it's more than a sport, it teaches you some values like the spirit of sacrifice, comradeship and perseverance. Furthermore, it keeps you healthy and it's a good way to meet new people. For me, it's a way of life.
