It lists sports that correspond to each letter of the alphabet and poses questions about sports that use balls, are dangerous, or use specific equipment. The document then describes a man who started jogging a month ago to lose weight. While the first run was difficult, he has come to enjoy the feeling of running freely. However, he does not like running around others as he feels self-conscious about needing to stop and rest. He also struggles with increased appetite after running.
