Re: "Runs", a game or a sport?

What baffled me, really, was the way he put it:

(quote)
"Runs" I liked, because it allowed me to be alone in the solitude of the
countryside.
(unquote)

The quotation marks are his. That's why I thought it must be some kind of
special game or something.

You've all been very helpful. Thanks again.
