Traces

“Traces.”

High school,

middle school,

and elementary school.

Today, I ran a course through the places where the traces of my childhood still remain.

Within a 15 km run, I followed the paths I once walked to and from school, revisiting those memories.

“What was I like back then?”

I quietly ask myself.

Let me not forget that those traces are what made me who I am today,

and with gratitude for this peaceful morning gifted by the weekend —

Let’s run!
