I spent the past weekend recording my afternoon runs at the park and looking at sunsets on top of the hill. When asked why, I guess, I like doing this so I can have something to look back on. I wish I had captured my resolution run on New Year’s day of 2014 also. It was on the flat paved roads below where I ran and not even half a mile in, I was wheezing and catching my breath. It was by no means my first run but it has been a long time up until then and not to mention, I was in the company of people who have ran road marathons and I was overwhelmed by the “whys” and “hows” as I looked on behind them. My legs were shaking underneath and I struggle with every stride. Whenever I come back for runs, I easily get cold by the wind even at summertime. Now I find myself in love, call the trails my home, chase sunsets on top of hills and allow the cool wind to embrace my being. I know I’m still at the infancy of this trail running journey but I hope to build greater endurance for a very long run.
