Run Like the Billowing Wind

Today was a mixed bag for my run. I ran alone and in the dark for the first four miles and I was unusually paranoid or self aware. There was less traffic as people are participating in races. I heard wild bore snorting and saw one spider but that was all. My ipod had a corrupt file which stopped working at mile four. I enjoyed the thirteen and my legs were very strong. I still took time to enjoy and not suffer. There was a 5k race going on which I didn't know and I hopped in for the last mile of my run passing people along the way.  I remember why I love and hate races. I realize what makes me drawn to running longer distances is that I can endure.
