The Throne at the Beginning and at the End of the Race

By Coreyamaro

The Throne

 

About a week ago my daughter Chelsea asked me to run a 10km in Paris this March. Considering I cannot even run around the block, nor can I run up the two flights on stairs in our home (The houses in the French countryside are usually two or three floors upright verses one floor sprawling out. Hence stairs.) I opted for the 5km walk.

Since then I have been walking 5 to 7km nearly every day. As we live at the mountain's base flat ground is not easy to find. My goal is to walk faster than I do now it is a race after all.

I'll be going back home to visit my family in a few days time, my brother Zane walks 5 miles a day. I am going to join him... I think... but then again he told me he walks fast, and early in the morning. Gulp.

Towards the end of my walk there is a tree cut in a way that looks like a natural throne. I admire it whenever I pass by. I long to take someone's photo on it. I also imagine sitting on it victoriously after the race in March.

What is a goal of yours?
