lace up

running. knees flex, straighten. calves tighten, impact. legs move in a smooth blur. nostrils flared, head up. just the beating of my heart, tightness in my chest. arms move like a metronome. no time to think. no introspection. no mulling over choices. no confusion. everything's easier to understand, everything's more fluid.


hard choices resolve themselves at the end of a run. but damn, some things in life are hard.
