Haha, I understand. When I first ran a mile, I think I did it in around 9:18 if I remember correctly... I could barely breathe when I flung myself across the finish line. When I was a freshman, I did cross country to get some endurance for the tennis season, but then I realized that the varsity tennis team was just an assorted fun sized pack of douchebags. Running started to grow on me, and now here I am, running 5:10 miles before my season got cut short halfway through. It's a great, pure sport that gets me in INSANELY good health. You guys should look into it if you're willing to, but it IS very hard.
