Eyes closed. Dog leashed. Legs ready.

Garmin not. Wait. Walk. Stop. One minute. Just. One minute.

Forget it. Let's go.

Strong. Legs. Surprising.

Left arm. Right arm. Push. Push. Right arm.

Sticky. Sweat. Drips.

Traffic intersects.

Wipe. Drink. Nuun. Water. Nuun.

So. Hot. Sun bright. Air thick.

Push on.

Roads. Faces. Familiar. Wave. Smile.

Push on.

Bump. Wince. Bumpy road.

Ooh. Oh. Silence. Good.

Hill. Down. Breathe. Fly. Hold tight.

Mile time. 9:XX. Wow. Strong.

Push on.

Hill. Up. Breathe. Focus. Hold tight.

Summit. Relief. Breathe. Drink.

Check. Eyes shut. Quiet.

Push on.

Stop. Sign.

A sign. Wipe. Breathe. Drink.

Nuun. Water. Nuun. No more.

One. Car. Two. Three? No.

Push on.

Straight? Turn? Right.

Small. Hill. Feels. Big.

Slow. Walk. Breathe. Rally.

Push on.

Turn? Straight? Short? Long?

Straight. Go. The. Distance.

Flowers. Trees. Canopy.

Pollen flies. Lilacs perfume.

Home. Near.

Timer ticks. Almost 30 minutes.

Push on.

Push. Hard. Strong. Finish.

Block. Ends.

Run. Ends.
