RUNNING Hello everyone! Today I´m going to talk about sports, specially about running, because that is the sport I practice now. Firstly, I would like tos ay when I was a child, I did not practice running, I used to play football, basketball, handball, and all sort of sports my friends played at school, because we did not know others sports… Running is very importan for me. I started to run two years ago because I wanted to do some activity outdoors and because I wanted to be fit. For that reason, I started at the beach about 20 minutes every day. Little by Little, I continued running 5 minutes more every 3 days and in two weeks ( more or less), I got to run about 45 minutes… and that it was a fantastic thing for me… Later, I continued running by kilometres with an APP in my telephone…and I run about 8 kilometres every day… and how I run more and more I decided to register in a popular race in my city…and I enjoyed so much I registered much more… 3 months later I was running an half marathon…and it was fantastic experience for me. Last year, I run my first marathon in Seville, Spain, near where I live, and today I can say it was a wonderful experience for me because I think running give yourself much more than every another sport… Nowadays, many people go for a run. There are “runners” in every part of the city: parks, beaches, streets… and I think that is a fantastic thing because it´s free, healthy and you can surpass yourself … what more can you call for? Regards! (I´m sorry if I have done many mistakes, I am learning english and it´s very dificult for me, thanks).

RUNNING

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to talk about exercise, specifically about running, because that is what I practice now.

Firstly, I would like to say when I was a child, I did not practice running. I used to play football, basketball, handball, and all sort of sports my friends played at school, because we did not know other exercise activities…
Running is very important for me. I started to run two years ago because I wanted to do some activity outdoors and because I wanted to be fit. So, I started at the beach about 20 minutes every day.
Little by little, I continued running an extra 5 minutes each time, 3 days per week. Within two weeks (more or less), I was able to run about 45 minutes… and that it was a fantastic thing for me!
Later, I continued to increase my running distance using an app on my mobile phone - I ran about 8 kilometres every day. I ran further and further, so I decided to register in a popular race in my city…and I enjoyed it so much I registered for another… 3 months later I ran a half-marathon… it was fantastic experience for me!
Last year, I ran my first marathon in Seville, Spain (near where I live), and today I can say it was a wonderful experience for me because I think running *give yourself much more than every another sport… [I'm unsure of what you're trying to say here - perhaps "...running is much more than just a sport, it can transform you"]
Nowadays, many people go for a run. There are “runners” in every part of the city: parks, beaches, streets… and I think that is a fantastic thing because it's free, healthy and you can surpass yourself …what more could you want?

This was good. It was interesting to read about your experience of running. Just a few small corrections. Well done on completing the half-marathon! :)
