After 8 days of layoff from being sick, I finally ran again today, and felt an urgency that I seldom feel. 1.512 miles in under 14 minutes - a new personal best for me at that distance.
I felt driven. Like I had to run faster to get out ahead of some.. I don't know.. personal demons?.. that want to take me down. I have to stay out in front of them. I have to stay ahead. I can't fall victim to them.
But now I can't stop coughing. God, these days it seems like it's either cough or cry. Aren't there any other options? I'd like to laugh, but I've forgotten how.
