It fades further into the distance.

I tried my camera on a quick 5 mile run in the canyon. Stacked up well over 1000 feet of climbing for a great workout. This is the single track that both my daughter and I love so much. It’s like a scramble and a very deliberate and aware running. You have to focus on your steps and obstacles yet lose yourself in the rapidness of it all as the heart pounds.



This song came on during the run. What an elegant song describing a broken and bewildering love. I have had this exact kind of dismissive love before. Maybe who hasn’t had it, maybe it is only the singer and me. When I paired the music to the running, I felt like I’m running franticly away from the song. This seems pretty appropriate because I did run away, for my dear life, upon realization that this (past) relationship, in hindsight was a dungeon and I was its prisoner. These runs, when connected to music bring up so many things in life. But they always end with a reflection of the positive. I think, if I never ran away from that dungeon, I wouldn’t be here right now. I may still be running away, but with each run, it fades further into the distance.
