Jogging
That first bold step onto the pavement along the side of the road
The crisp, fresh, afternoon air, and the bright, warm sun blazing down upon your face as you head out
In this short-lived journey of health and adventure
Your breath thickens as you mechanically place one foot in front of the other
Thinking about what's for dinner and how refreshingly pleasant everyone was today
And nothing really
Except the struggle
Tired feet, half-way through or even better
Stumble along the grass where the terrain isn't quite flat, but a much needed escape from passing cars
Care that sometimes glare, sometimes smile about living life
Living longer and better, one step at a time, one day at a time
One last mad dash back home to the telephone pole designated as the ending point
Dripping with victory
Pouring with life
