when i was a kid, like, grade 3 or 4, me and joey warnock were great friends. we played together every recess. he had blond hair and freckles and he was skinny but strong. we played on the rocks, mostly, played house, but sometimes we'd play on the swings. the thing about the swings is that when class let for recess, kids would make a charge for the swings. last one there's a rotten egg and whatnot. it was easier to play house on the rocks. but, some days you just want to swing, you know? it's worth it - the race to the swings is worth it because at the end's a prize that you want.

that's what it felt like today, running that 5k. felt like we were all trying to see who'd be first to get to the swings and it felt like, today, like i wanted to get there first.

competition. nothing like it.
