Again, the precocious confidence.
Ah, this is easy.
I've got this.
I must be one kilometre into a five kilometre run and I feel great.
Fleeting thoughts go through my mind.
Random tune fragments, lyrics from songs, chores to do.
No pattern, awkward strides.
My watch vibrates.
One mile done.
Almost one third complete.
Not bad.
The first time I ran barefoot, I was surprised how good it felt.
My feet weren't bruised or bleeding.
I didn't break a toe or cut my soles.
My feet felt free, in contact with the naked earth, feeling its curves and uncertainties.
Every step sent information into my body.
Grass, rocks, mud, puddles, all earth, Mother Earth.
I reach laytown then turn to head back.
I realise the wind which has been blowing me down the strand is now my foe.
My breathing is deep and loud.
