The sun hid behind the covers,and the air was cool and crisp.After stretching out i began undertaking my arduous journey,and its destination was the exact same spot i stood on.The first round was conquered with ease,but subsequent ones began to take their toll on my fatigued body.As i continued to run,it seemed that somehow i was in my own world.Gone was the consciousness of everything around me,and the sounds i heard were the rhythmic beats that seemed to urge me on.And the intensity of panting,grew with each breath.

The thing about running,is that with each step you take,the will to go on grows thinner.And the battle of physical elements soon metamorphs into a battle that rages within,a battle of the mind and body.And the greatest feeling is when you overcome it and achieve what you set out to do.

Staring idly into space,i finally found time to be alone and to dwell deep into thought.A luxury i haven't enjoyed since a long time.Life's been moving at a lightning quick pace and there were just hardly any chances to slow down and relax.And i realised that in life,no matter how hectic our schedules are,perhaps we should slow down and take a break.Stop to enjoy a nice view,slow down to enjoy a gentle breeze and of course to leave time for deep thinking.Things change,people change,and it's good to re-evaluate ourselves every now and then and set our life's compass back to showing north again.

Life is short,and so are the many beautiful moments of our lives.More often than not we hold grudges that all of these are bound to the sands of time,but it is precisely because of this,that they are even more beautiful.Time is the personification of beauty,if only we learnt to see.And i'm pretty glad i dragged myself for the run,somehow the simple task has managed to invigorate the soul and for now,everything just seems a picturesque of perfection.For now..

`For all the moments that you wished would last forever,don't.
The fact that time takes it all away,makes it all the more precious.
