Why And How I Became A Runner - AskMen

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

The next day everything hurt from the eyebrows down. My ankles were especially in agony, and I’d broken both of them (at separate times, thankfully) as a teen, so I thought I probably had some arthritis that meant I’d never be able to run. My knees and shins and back and ribs all ached like I’d been pushed down a flight of stairs, beaten with wolverines, then shoved in front of a speeding armored car. It took a full week for the pain to go away.

So much for that idea.
