I am powerless over the effects of running. The feelings of strength and power. Accomplishments and fitness. Satisfaction and euphoria. Pride.
It takes me to a happy mental place. A place where oblivion and reality can coincide and I am free to think about anything… or nothing. I can fly. Or soar. I can slog and drag too. But usually, I just run… Wherever. Whenever.
Yesterday 10 miles. Today 6.2 miles.
Each run bringing me a little closer towards that next marathon. With a little heart. A take no prisoners attitude. And that happy mental place, I think this runner girl has a shot at running a good race…
3:45 or better.
