I am a distance runner,  completed several full marathons (42.2kms) and few ultra marathons (50+km).  It's an essential part of my daily routine for over a decade now.  Helps me clear my thought and bring focus to my work

That is a good one, but needs a lot of committiment and conditioning.

Currently I am in beautiful city of Pune, India.   Marathon requires a lot of commitments and sacrifices (evening parties, late night binge watch, junk food),  so does everythign else in our life that we need to improve.  There is a lot you can learn by training for Marathon.
It just brings decipline in almost every area of your life,  when we have less time,  we tend to make best use of it.

Absolutely, your perspective on marathon training and its impact on discipline is inspiring, Best of luck with your training, and may the discipline you've gained continue to enrich all areas of your life

I do open mic stand ups when I can find them.  I'm in a very red state with not a lot of night life so it's tough.  I'd be on stage every night if I could find the gigs!

Absolutely, reading books still exists and continues to thrive! Are you interested in any specific genre or recommendations? Any favorite books you'd like to share? :books:

Try exercise and tell me how you feel

Dancing can be more intense than exercise that we need to change clothes every 1 or 2 hours with frequent breaks. It can be a form of cardio, if we know the choreo well and perform it non stop

Many people enjoy playing games as a form of relaxation and entertainment. It's important to find activities that bring you joy and help you de-stress. If playing **Edited for Community Guidelines** is something you enjoy and find relaxing, then it can be a great hobby for you.

I like soccer too.

I am a big fan of Pep Guardioloa and I enjoy studying and learning strategies of Mr.Pep. It helps me understand not only soccer, but professional things and I improve organizing everyday thanks to my hobby.

My hobby is inventing recipes. I don't prepare any meal exactly the same as I did before. Everyday something new.
