I’m the father of a five-year-old boy. “Daddy, where are you going?” Dave asks me why I’m putting on my running shoes on a cold Sunday morning. “Go running,” I say. “Why?” he asks me in surprise. He is only five but it is a question that I can’t easily answer. I often ask myself, “Joe, why do you go running?” I don’t know, but something lets me go. So I say to Dave, “Something lets me go.”
The truth is that just before you run, it’s still difficult to explain to someone why you run. Of course, some people run to lose weight or to be healthy, and these are good reasons.
Running is difficult. You need to persist(坚持). Running is also easy to do. It’s cheap, and you can do it whenever you want. There are more than two million people in England running at least once a week. I’m one of those two million runners. I go running not to lose weight or to be healthy. I run five kilometers every morning. After that I feel great, and it’s easy for me to do the other things. After my busy work, I usually go out to run, and I think it is the most wonderful time in a day. I love running and I will keep running.

A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals. Then why should you play sports if they aren’t going to be your future?
There are actually a lot of good reasons to play sports. First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good state. When you exercise, your body produces endorphins (内啡肽). Endorphins give you more energy and make you feel happier.
Sports are important for everyone, but they are especially important for young people. They teach young people about winning and losing. Also, they teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. For example, when you play football, you must learn how to communicate with your teammates and work together. Sports teach young people to respect their coaches, teammates, and people they fight against as well.
Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she is less likely to have problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also help people know that if they work hard, they might succeed.
Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important.
Whether or not you will become a sports professional doesn’t matter. Sports will help you become a better and happier person. Sports will help you make friends and stay healthy. Here is another good reason to play sports: Sports are fun.
