I´m an English runner who has won the world marathon six times. I also won four marathons in the USA and three in London. These are the activities I do when I´m not in a competition:

8:30 am - My daughter Vicky comes to our room before we wake up and says good morning to Gary and me. Later, I eat some melon and give cereal to her. Then, I have a look at the newspaper.

9:45 am - We leave Vicky at her theatre class; then, I run and Gary cycles next to me to keep me close to my time goal. I sometimes surf after this.

11:45 am - After meeting Vicky at school, we get home and have a big lunch. Then, I play with her.

2:10 pm - Gary usually takes Vicky out while I sleep- When I get up, I boil some water for tea.

8:20 pm - Vicky goes to bed. I read my friend´s messages on the computer, watch volleyball on TV, and have a conversation with Gary.

10:30 pm - Time for bed. I brush my teeth and wash my hands and face. I enjoy reading, but I haven´t done it much since Vicky was born. I also wish I had time for playing the drums, but I would wake Vicky up.

Read the following text and answer the questions.

FITNESS AND HEALTH BY DR. CHARLES PERRY

A strong body is often the aim, if not always the result, of working out. However, "just because someone looks fit on the outside, it doesn´t necessarily mean they are healthy on the inside," Dr. Michael Smith says. "Fitness and health, things that can and should be connected, are often very different things," he mentions.

Nutritionist Anna Jackson explains that "fitness is when your body gets used to exercise. If you lift a heavy weight, your boy gets stronger so that the next time you lift that weight, it is better able to deal with that routine. Health can be explained as the lack of disease, but it also depends on environmental factors such as pollution or a poor diet."

Taking into account the previous definition of health, I could say it is possible to be healthy but unfit. As exercising does provide a level of protection from many medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, being fit increases your chances of being healthy and living a long life; however, being fit doesn´t mean you won´t suffer from poor health at some point.

You can be both, fit and healthy. Honestly, extremes in exercise or poor diet choices can destroy your health. The charming benefits of running could be all but cancelled out by the health complications brought on by smoking or drinking too much. Everybody has to be very careful and understand that exercising won´t give us a perfect health. Too much workout could reduce its benefits, and exercising always requires a well-planned diet to help our body gain the maximum.

8) What is the purpose of the writter in this article?

• to describe a suitable exercise routine to do a good workout.

• to provide several recipes to be used to improve our meals.

• to inform about the awful effects of certain dangerous exercise routines.

• to explain that being in good shape doesn´t mean you won´t need medicine.
