I've come to
call the category of sports or activities that I seem to enjoy
most "Journeying." In almost all cases, these activities
primarily involve covering distance as
you are propel yourself through space.
With few exceptions, these activities allow you to push
yourself - to put yourself perhaps a little farther out than you
think you should really be and go for that extra effort to get
back. Horseback riding and Dancing are exceptions.
They are also
primarily solo activities (while you can do them with a friend, a
companion is not required as it is in, say, tennis). In many
of these, I find time to 'zone' or do as much mental work or
relaxation as physical. Some of these activities put me in an
alert but meditative state, much like
motorcycle riding does.
