Live blawrging: Running on the mind

Running is a remnant of my childhood that, like a Star Wars collection for the middle-aged fanatic, will follow me wherever I go. When I do it, I am often transported back to an original state of being a young immigrant in suburban America. I first joined the track team in high school, in a state of teen angst that you could only surpass in the height of the 1980s. Meanwhile, running's also a source of strength and power. Also, I tend to think in haphazard angles, like a shopper trying to find her way through the aisles at Costco.
