It has been said that runners have their best thoughts of the day while out running. Runner and writer Michael Selman shares his
"Thoughts on Running" with us here at ontherunevents.com.
"The Robert Frost Trail"
Whose trails these are, I do not know.
I know I need to run them, though.
The sight of deer, the sounds of birds
Whatever else the path will show?
The breezes gently brush my hair.
A damp earth smell is everywhere.
I give my head a hearty shake
A month ago, these trees were bare.
The life within the forest grows.
Amazing feats of nature show
A different trail than those before.
A trail of dreams. Do I dare go?
To follow dreams. I heed the call.
So what if I must trip and fall.
To try and fail has no regrets.
But never to attempt at all?
A trail less traveled brightly glows.
A trail I must go down, I know.
And miles to run before I go.
And miles to run before I go.
