I Ran To Work Today

by Kimberly Kane

I ran to work today.
And so I started my day on the right foot.

I ran to work today.
I began my journey in the dark, cloaked in fog that settled on my clothes and eyelashes and ran through a beautiful sunrise.

I ran to work today.
The stop lights were kind to me and my legs were light allowing me to set a new PB for the “commute race”.

I ran to work today.
I may not have been thrilled to step into the office, but I was happy to arrive on foot by my own steam.

I ran to work today.
The unfortunate realization that I had forgotten a towel for my post-run shower didn’t cause more than a chuckle (and a few shivers as I drip-dried).

I ran to work today.
So my mind was clear and focused as I sat down at my desk.

I ran to work today.
And my spirits stayed high and my outlook positive as I dealt with the challenges of the office.

My day was better because I ran; because I run.
