Re-live it & Make it New

This post is a procrastinated post.

This run was completed 3 days ago.

Typically I can't wait to share thoughts and pictures on a run,

Blog it into oblivion.

But this run was different.

It's not that it was a hard run.

Discouraging, no-

New route-no. 

Ever have a run that didn't go as planned, and it haunts you? 

Maybe even a race-

Just something that you keep replaying in your mind.

craving a 'do-over'

I've got one too.

Nothing serious.

Just a training run that rocked- then ran awry-

A missed photograph of a building that intrigued me.

Not really worth all the emotional drama-

A silly little training run, but I can't shake it.

Monday morning I finally got the chance to re-capture it.

Funny how I had built it up in my mind-

This perfect run-

This perfect picture-

It was neither.

Just a simple run

Ordinary snapshot

"The photo"- yawn

How many times do I do that to myself?

Live in the past.

Reliving yesterday's victory as if it's today's.

Or defeat-

I finished the run more thoughtful-

I pushed harder-

Sweated a little more-

Ran a bit longer-

Savored it-

Only then did I realize, I hadn't relived an old run

I'd made it new.

The one meant for today

And it was good.
