21st January: Running...

Have you ever felt like running?
Not to anything in particular, and not from anything.
Just running,
to feel your legs underneath you
holding you up
and moving you forward.
Running so you can feel your lungs,
and hear your heart.
Having the ground pass under your feet,
and the air push against your skin.
Feeling your whole self,
Feeling alive.

  1. Yes, yes and yes. Despite the jelly belly, despite the short legs, despite the state of unfit-ness. Yes!

    Love always, running woman,
