Students Join in Boston Tradition Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:21:13 GMT
I’ve never understood what possesses people to run. Granted, I was always the kid on my little league baseball team who got paired with the catcher during sprints…and lost. But I’ve tried recreational running both on a treadmill and outside, and the same thing always happens about five minutes in—my lungs ache, my right shoulder hurts, and my stomach cramps up. So I’ve just never understood running. But out of my misunderstanding sprouts a downright respect.
