MY college lacrosse teammates and I were required to run two miles in twelve minutes (or less) at the beginning of each season or we’d be made to run before each daily practice until we succeeded — a fitting test, I suppose, of the will and physical prowess needed for the sport. It usually took me three or four tries before making time each year — some did it on their first try. A few others never could run it in time, so they kept our sideline benches warm throughout the season… not fun especially during the winter months.
