I wear my sunglasses at night

10/17/11

I ran in the dark. Night-time was full bloom, greeting a man on anything but a fool’s errand. As if a night run sheds light like the sun’s reflection from a car then off a window to slap your face with a light handed smoosh of bright potency. This leaves you to ask, “Where did that come from?”

The run in the night lets me shine because it is a way of understanding commitment. A way of saying how much you want to be, of all the varying genetic possibilities the one that encapsulates your specific profile, the best runner. A way to be true to what you love that which you hold dear, the idea of being what you want! The run today, leaves me to see everything as the way it should be.
