In light of that "grown men" thread, I decided to create a little less intense thread.

So, do you consider yourself an athlete? The definition is up to you, whether you're skilled at very active sports (football, basketball, soccer) or sports like golf, darts, etc. And no, I don't mean to downplay golf or darts... I respect all sports.

Yeah. :) I got 12.12sec in the 100m when I was 14, and it was good enough to get me 1st place in my school division. Also got 1st in the 200m and 3rd in Long Jump. And I play hockey in the winter. :)

Kind of the opposite actually. I've always been pretty clumsy at most physical sports but I do have a strong physique and work out quite often.

3 miles? That's a long run. But not as long as the Dawe run. But I mean, just for practice, that's really long. Good job. :)

Hmm you're probably referring to the shot put. Its the metal sphere that you "throw"/push off your neck, correct?

They really arent bad if you just jog, but we have to maintain a 7 minute pace and are often told to sprint at certain times :P

Nope, I consider myself the opposite. Running is one of my most hated activities, and I'm not competitive at all.

I would consider myself a decent athlete. I've played nearly all of the really active sports and have been conditioned for basically any distance between 100m and 3 miles. My best sport is definitely soccer, which is pretty competitive in North Texas.
