I had come to the town of Milton Massachusetts to
run a 10K road race that I had run three times before, with a 48:18 finish in
2002, a 52:30 finish in 2003 and a 53:40 finish in 2004. Today I was hoping to finish in an hour and
five minutes, although secretly a sub one hour would make me feel better.
I’ve been injured, I’ve
gained weight, and I’ve not felt as in shape as I have in the past: but today’s
effort might serve to remind me that there was still hope within me to shed
these pounds and run faster and more intelligently with a new strategy of
training.
If the act of running is a
celebration of life, it seemed only fitting that I’d be here in the town where
I took my first human breath, and experienced a childhood of tradition and
love, to celebrate my identity as a runner in training: where my walk breaks
allowed my body to run faster, and this guy named Walker could feel more like a
runner.
