Growing up, I loved playing team sports. Hockey, cricket, and netball were favourites, and in my teens I was a rower for a couple of years.

It was mainly cricket and rugby league that we watched during these years. Going to live games made the experience more enjoyable, including rugby union matches. And it was great to be able to attend some Olympic and Paralympic events when they were hosted in Sydney in 2000.

Over the years, though, my interest in sports has faded. I’m more likely to read a book or go for a walk than watch sports, though I do admire and appreciate the skill and athleticism of the players.

Do you enjoy watching or playing sports?

I’m participating in this blogging challenge for the month of January, which supports starting the year on the “write” track. You can find other posts with #bloganuary and join in the challenge.
