Remember Me?

Hey there!
Remember the bear?

so yeah, a year and a week ago there was some resetting that needed to be done. but now we are back on track and like the bionic man, i am better than i was before: better, stronger, faster. okay okay, maybe not faster, but inspired and focused to run further and that ought to count for something. i have also been waking up at 5am, getting up and running, and for the epitome of the not-a-morning-person that i am, that amazes even me. can the bionic man claim that, huh? i mean, okay so you can see things miles away and lift a car with one hand but how does that compare to being proud of the pieces of you that are rubbed raw during a long run? okay so you would finish the marathon in less than ten minutes but can you take an ice bath, 6 million dollar man? well you think about that as i go from the encouragement my mother gave me for walking all the way from the kitchen to the front door of my new york apartment (which can probably fit in the living room of a regular living space) to crossing the finish line after making it 26.2 miles around Chicago. yeah, you really think about and ask yourself - is bionic all they talked it up to be?
