The Dove Run

I start my run on the humpback rail trail, feeling good and sharing updates on my heart rate and pace. I take breaks to walk and reflect, mentioning personal anecdotes like a wiggly tooth and memories of running with a friend. Along the way, I observe familiar landmarks and share thoughts on various topics, from neighborhood changes to environmental policies like carbon taxes. Despite distractions like traffic and noise, I enjoy the sunny weather and the familiarity of the route. As I approach the end of my run, I bid farewell to my audience, noting that the remainder of the journey is downhill.
