An exploration on life and living.
Time for You to Get a Watch
If I could run that trail at any speed, I am so much stronger than I thought I was.
Mystery Meat
In spite of everything, I was out there this morning. In spite of everything, I got to be a part of it.
Reset, Reframe
Coming face to face with the reality that my foot is complaining about a max weekly mileage of 18 is humbling. Sigh.
Defying Gravity
I’ve been thinking a lot about silliness and play ever since. Nothing makes me feel more alive than laughing so hard it hurts. Why don’t I do it more often?
When You're Falling in a Forest
Whatever part of the ether my mind decided to visit for however long this run took, she didn’t invite me to join. We reconvened in the car for the drive home, where I sang Cowboy Take Me Away a cappella to myself for 45 minutes.
In the Absence of Clarity
What if I don’t have to live vicariously? What if I am the one that carries myself to my own dreams?
Another 3 Miles Down
This life is a beautiful, tender, miraculous thing. Even when some mornings start out cold.
Smells Like Running
Running has always carried me to myself. Revealed the things I try to hide from. My fears. My hurt. My yearnings. My power. And now, after all these years, a start gun went off somewhere in the ether and my body heard it. It’s time to run.
In a world of absurd uncertainty, all I can do is move forward towards the things that bring me to life. Nothing is guaranteed—not time, not relationships, not money. But this moment, the one I’m sitting in now? I can choose to infuse that with life.
