In solidarity with the running community, I thought I’d get up early today and run a marathon. It’s Boston Marathon 2020 (original) day after all. The COVID-19 situation has prompted the race to be postponed for now until September. But I thought wouldn’t it be a good idea to run “Boston Strong” today?
But aches and pains from age and life, a morning headache attributable to depression and too-much-self-medicating-wine, and an overall ennui at 5 AM this morning has me thinking why bother?
That normally would be all the more reason I’d push myself out the door… but sadly not today. I’ll postpone, I tell myself. It’s just a change in plans.
But in my heart, I don’t know if that’s true.
