Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and Spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of nature, if the prospect of an early morning walk does not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you, know that the morning and spring of your life are past. Thus you may feel your pulse.

Henry David Thoreau

Of course, in our grade school, in those days, there were no organized sports at all. We just went out and ran around the school yard for recess.
