I've done moderately long distance running since high school, which typically has meant track, field, and cross-country teams. I've never run more than a half-marathon.
I've played soccer/football and ultimate frisbee in summer leagues.
I also did fencing (predominately foil) for a couple of years, but where I am now, there aren't any other fencers nearby.

Fencing! that's rad, I wish there was someone nearby that taught fencing. I would do it all day every day.

Cool to see everyones hobbies.
Now:
Running and the Gym is me, I take it easy on the shoulder after separating my bicep from my shoulder, I used to lift a lot of weights, now it's just maintaining. NEVER train through an injury, I don't care what people tell you, push through the pain yeah only if you know exactly what that pain is.
But i've done a lot over the years.
Used to compete in the Nationals, Karate tournaments, that was a fun team day out. Tried to restart last year and broke my foot, no great story sadly, it was me vs the door rushing to the phone, and the door won splitting my toes and shattering a few bones. With my shoulder injury previously and my foot, I think life is telling me something there
Ran 1500 meters (1 mile is 1600) at county level as a kid, so you win your school, win your area, then county in england. I never could get transport there for the regular training sessions when I was younger, too regular
Football (soccer for you heathens over the pond ) almost tried out for the school of excellence as a right or left back (defender) for notts forest when I was a kid when they were in the top flight (division) I couldn't get there 3 or 4 times as week so it was a no go. I still had a decent club I played for though locally.
Done other things like swimming marathons, hockey goalie and such like, used to love both.

I played a litany of middle and high school sports at various points. Namely baseball. I also tried out football and soccer. However, my favorite sport has always been racing.
I used to love karting and when I was a kid I wanted to be a Formula 1 driver (lol). I would literally be out there perfecting lap times constantly, by myself. Unfortunately, genetics had other plans. I'm way too tall. 6'2" might be a passable height in NASCAR, sports cars, or maybe rallying, but any type of open-wheel racing, forget about it. Oh, and there were also financial considerations. My family is well-off, but we aren't millionaires. Racing has never exactly been a poor man's sport.
So yeah, that dream went down the tubes. I still harbor grand delusions of one day entering the 24 Hours of Le Mans as a gentleman driver though. Patrick Dempsey style.
Nowadays I just focus on general fitness. Weight lifting, running, biking, hiking, skiing... I try to keep my fitness level high.
