Some days you have it and some days you don't. As from my last post, I talked about the difference between sports and recreational activities. The link said that to make something a sport there must be an element of injury and death involved thus saying that running was recreational.
I must strongly disagree. Besides the first marathoner died soon afterward. A sport should be an activity where your heart rate is at 60-85 % of your target zones on average for the duration of the sport.
Yes, I know that this rules out things such as baseball. I'm sorry folks, but that is recreational. Plus there is no element of possible death like in boxing. I know many of you would say that it takes a lot of athleticism to play things such as baseball. That is true they are truly athletic, but that doesn't make it a sport.
What's your definition?
