Four A.M. We ran the miracle mile
"You Get What You Give" - The New Radicals
No longer conscious of my movement, I discovered a new unity with nature. I had found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never dreamt existed.
-Sir Roger Bannister

It used to be that I was chasing a sub-four-minute mile in school. Hoping to do my own version of the Roger Bannister run on May 6, 1954. I never did it and the experience mirrored my life off the track - mostly bitter but crucial for getting through life and dealing with disappointments.
Two decades and many ectopic beats later, every mile I finish, no matter how slow, is a miracle. Thank You, God, for giving me a ticker that still ticks.
