The Habit of Running

By Keith Shields on Sunday, September 3, 2006.

No pain, no gain.

Itâ€™s a phrase that fits easily into the sport of running.

But in the city of Rochester, New Hampshire, itâ€™s taken on new meaning.

The St. Charles Runners is a group of children from the St. Charles Childrenâ€™s home and the nuns who take care of them.

They've learned that running, can begin to take away some of the pain.

NHPRâ€™s Keith Shields has the story.

This story was awarded first place in the 2006 Sports Special category by the New Hampshire Associated Press Broadcasters Association.
