The Place Where all Ends Meet | 2020 is turning to be remembered as a year of many ends vs. beginnings, my running path on that Fourth of July touched many ends, mainly roads, route 90, route 1, 2, 3,16, making me wonder if there are other ends that meet at this very point, there was no notion of celebration that is going to happen that evening, people barely responded when greeted for a happy holiday, where some even looked surprised. It felt as if my feet are tangled with more ends as I run, most of them invisible, but still slowing me down. These were my brand new running shoes with the new logo, ending a legacy of many years. It felt light and smooth run mixed with a sense of guilt.

The air stood still, the Charles River was mirroring the the aggressive development of Cambridge side, hiding a logo of a company I look to have my name at (@) not sure if I get back from them offers for couple beginnings or thanking me for my time adding them to a pile of many ends, will these signify the end of our journey here in the land of plenty? and how much plenty is left anyway?

I am marking virtual milestones on the other side of the river so I do not have to watch my running pacer for the distance I passed, making it the least measured run, just trying to keep a decent pace so long I can, for the half marathon course I measured, just on the year that the Boston Marathon was canceled.

I entertain the idea that I will run my own long run for the sake of all the rest whom have not done it, and for my own sake that I run it with no qualification or fund, just on that year it did not happen. Here Here for a virtual win and keeping some spirit. My pacer ended up with a flat battery so it cut my course couple miles early.

How can you turn all these very ends to fresh new starts, where do you get all that fuel to recharge and ignite the spark again? Where is the turning point that makes that difference between the place where all ends meet and all starts begin? Nothing is marked on the map for you, or blips on your watch, it is as easy or as complected to decide on how to make that run. Life will tell
