On 02 November 2007, I was told that In January 2008, I would be taking a physical fitness exam in the winter in Pennsylvania. I began training for it. I ran in shorts and a long-sleeve shirt every night the temperature dropped below 40 degrees. I tried my hardest to gain eskimoid properties for the entire month of November. Then the letter came. And I decided that running in the winter for no reason at all was probably not a good idea.
Then comes last Friday. I've picked up running in the cold again.
My shoes hug my feet as I run up Greene Street. The cold air brushes past my legs, neck, face and ears. I pound out the steps at the Capital and continue my way through downtown. Though movements keeps me warm, I realize just how much I haven't done this.
But I'm ready for next week.
This is the first time that I'm completely fine with not pursuing what I want. There was once that I wanted only what I wanted, but now I see the folly in pursuing only what I wanted. And while I don't think my motives are completely selfish for wanting to go there, I am, for the first time, willing to succeed my interests.
