My parents have saved every single piece of writing and alot of other crap of mine from way back when. But parents do that, and thats one of the things quite wonderful about being home. I havent been a "Bombay girl" for a decade and a half now, but I remember visiting for 2 days just after my 21st Birthday. Being the geek I am, I celebrated my 21st in 2002 in grand style in far North Queensland. I ran a 50 mile race and 3 hours later went sky diving jumping from a plane at 15,000 feet. I graduated 3 days before the 12th of July. Needless to say, this was one of the happiest times of my life. So last night, I came across a box of my things. Never one to pass up a nostalgic opportunity, I went through each and every bit of writing. Apparently, I wrote down 10 things to improve about my running in the year 2003. I went through that list, and each and every thing written down, still rings true today. I also had a quote by Robert Frost written on it - I read alot of Robert Frost growing up.
While this certainly drives home the concept that running is a lifelong, learning journey, I feel as though there are certain checkpoints to which I should have made it by now. Oh well. I certainly have a long way to go. Miles to go.
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."-Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost
