I like running , except it can be hard on your knees.
Oh, yeah, you have to have proper runner's form. Maybe you'd enjoy track and field, a sport including running jumping and throwing!
I used to do that in school. Its was pretty fun and good exercise too. 
Yeah, haha, it is pretty fun. It's name is derived from the sport's typical venue, haha
I liked the sprints, race walking and hurdling contests. And it got you out of class for awhile.
Those would be considered foot racing events, which also include distance events. Have you ever won one?
Came in second a few times. The first examples are the Ancient Olympic Games in Olympia, Greece in 776 BC
Ah, that's a shame, most track and field events are individual sports with only a single victor, so it can't be everybody, haha
