That Moment

That moment when the alarm sounds at 5 am on a Sat morning
That moment when you wonder if all of your gear is ready
That moment when you are driving to meet the running group
That moment when the air is chilly
That moment when all you want to do is go home and go back to bed
That moment when your GPS watch is not syncing
That moment when you take the first step towards a run
That moment when you wonder why you are doing this at all
That moment when you are still cold
That moment when you grumble internally at the decision to get up and run so early
That moment when your body warms up
That moment when you sweat begins to trickle down your face
That moment when you arrive at the turn around point
That moment when you have willed your body into doing what you desire, not what it wants
That moment when you know defeated the alarm clock, the temperature, the desire to crawl back into bed is when you won the race.
That moment, is what you live for!
And that moment is when you know you will...
Keep Running!
