Run

Run for your life.

Lately, running has kinda been my life. No two ways about it, I've been passionatly running long distances for months. Running from my own crazy, running from my monotony, running from my problems. At whatever endset line I drew that day, I always found peace, resolve, and clarity. With the Marine Corps Marathon, I get to actually have people out there cheering me-- cheering among a sea of other faces. This time the finish line is something tangible, not just the completion of my daily goal.


Not run 'till I stop crying.
Not run from DC to Virginia to Maryland and back.
Not run for the thrill.

This time I'm running just for me. Woo-fuckin-hoo!

OOh Ra!
