MarathonWords

Post-Marathon, I reflect!

[ Baltimore Marathon
Completed 10.15.05
3hrs, 53min, 10sec
115th/886 Females
]


Soon, ohhh soooo soon, I am going to craft a lucious exposé on distance running.

For running is rich.

It is
pain
pride
endorphins
vision
you me
him her
doubt
assurance
courage
summit

fast faster
live longer
love-you-in-the-shower-later

relief challenge
mind body
soul sweat
race pace
hours minutes
wild steady
ancient present
city trail
sun wind
solo team
hills highs
hearts muscles.
Running is beautiful.

My exposé is on its way!
I hope to address running science, too- the science of Kenyans, endoprhins, pacing and pulsing, sweating and salt. The science of winners. The science of drive.

Finished in 3:53! and what a small sliver of time to dedicate to something which has so greatly enriched my life...

If I've run with you before, much love to you. And if I've not, that still-same love, and hopes of striding together soon!


Yes,
In your element,
you can be
as fierce and as fast
as your will can see...
