Running, Running and Only Running


Whether it be in the field house or on an outdoor one,

the track will forever be a second home.

The air is filled with excitement, nervous energy and adrenaline. 

It’s where my friends and I catch up after exhilarating races,

hoping the team will come out on top.

I love the feeling of the wind in my hair,

the feeling of relaxation that comes with the steady thud, thud thud of my footsteps.

But most of all,

I love the track because it’s where, above all places,

it’s okay to  think about running, running, and only running.

  • Calm in the Evening

    The sun sets
    over the hills.

    The grass blows 
    in the gentle wind.

    The birds twitter
    an evening song.

    The moon rises
    over the vast field.

    Our picnic blanket:
    the only thing out of place.

    Rewind the Clock

    I did it, I made it big.
    All I ever did was hope to be known. 
    But now?
    Now all I want is a normal life.
    A life where I can go
    grocery shopping,
    out to eat,
    for a walk with the kids,
