I had come to the town of Milton Massachusetts to run a 10K road race that I had run three times before, with a 48:18 finish in 2002, a 52:30 finish in 2003 and a 53:40 finish in 2004. Today I was hoping to finish in an hour and five minutes, although secretly a sub one hour would make me feel better. I've been injured, I've gained weight, and I've not felt as in shape as I have in the past: but today's effort might serve to remind me that there was still hope within me to shed these pounds and run faster and more intelligently with a new strategy of training. If the act of running is a celebration of life, it seemed only fitting that I'd be here in the town where I took my first human breath, and experienced a childhood of tradition and love, to celebrate my identity as a runner in training: where my walk breaks allowed my body to run faster, and this guy named Walker could feel more like a runner.
