Like cymbals they sing,
crinkle, crackle, crunch.
My feet tickle the earth
as they glide over its skin.
The rhythm is steady:
the melody builds.
My heart joins in,
a timpani echoing in my ears.
I am a musician.
My run is my song.
43:42 Almost 4.
I was supposed to run a 5k today. I signed up. I got excited. I remember last year seeing tons of little munchkins running around town the day they had the Halloween Howler. And once I saw the family dressed as the Incredibles I knew I had to do it. So I found the old e-mail, sent in my registration and started dreaming of a new PR. I also started worrying about my Halloween costume. But don't worry! I didn't fret too long before I got a call saying the race wasn't even happening this year. I had sent in last year's registration. Bah Humbug. So, I went for a run. I loved every step. I found myself remembering a couple years ago and thought to myself, "Who am I!?" I used to hate even the thought of running.
People change.
Some people change a lot.
Sometimes, that's a really good thing.
Thank you very much 43:42 with two ten minutes miles.
Do I know you? Either way, I like you. :)
