Greetings! Three hundred and sixty-five more days have come
and gone and The Streak remains alive
and well. I admit to being a bit nervous when closing in on a yearly anniversary
of The Streak in past. This year proved different. Maybe that comes from
longevity of The Streak, or life
itself. I celebrated a milestone
birthday earlier this year. Perhaps, my daily mantras about calmness are paying
dividends. That's a good practice, but I reckon I've lightened up because I’m getting older.
As you know, I love to quote John Mellencamp lyrics. The 21st
anniversary of The Streaks seems like
as a good occasion to continue the trend. In Mellencamp’s song, Don’t Need this Body, he writes:
This getting older
Ain't for cowards
This getting older
Is a lot to go through
….
Well I can't see much
Like I used to
And I can't run like the wind
The last three lines resonate more than I’d like, but I thank
goodness for reading glasses and that my legs have plenty of strength to run.
Shannan and I had fun making a short podcast about The
Streak. You can hear it at this link.
Aging Happens. Run.
Tom
