Ever Dream?
wishing to run the brooklyn bridge
I dream of running the Brooklyn Bridge
Of revisiting its boardwalk of fun
Running ’round walkers; screaming right past;
A thrilling, and challenging run.
I miss you, old bridge, and your beauty!
I miss how you’d give me a peek
Of the city that engulfs me when
I visit to relive years in a week!
Today I ran a favorite 10K route. I saw horse farms, steep hills and interesting people. It made me miss an old 10K favorite run of mine, which I found when I ran across the Brooklyn Bridge to explore. I lost myself on that run, a new resident of NYC, and I stared like a tourist as I ran across the base of Manhattan, around The World Trade Center, The World Financial Center and I nearly tripped when I realized how clearly I could see The Statue of Liberty on this spontaneous, 10K run. It was 1990. The year I fell in love with running in New York!
Ever dream on your runs?
What’s your fave running dream or memory?
May your next run be a good one.
