Dear Yamila, how are you? It’s really nice to read your message and know about you. How much time has passed since the last time we saw each other?

Regarding your question, I think that you could start running, for example. I feel you might like it. What I mean is that I know you, and you definitely enjoy being outdoors and spending time in nature. You are an extroverted and sociable person, so doing a sport in a team is perfect for you. Remember that here in our town there are a lot of running groups.

You should send a message on Instagram to some groups that I know, for example @LA.BASE or @NPTRAINING, and ask them if they have a place for you. They will tell you which days and times are available for training. Then, you can decide which one is better for you, depending on your schedule.

Actually, I think you should join my running group. Its name on Instagram is @GOERUNNING. I believe that if we went running together, it would be amazing because we would have a lot of fun.

Let me know if you are interested in this.

I’m waiting for your answer! Bye bye, see you soon.
