Metaphors Lend Importance

Today is the first day of the start of my new life. Unfortunately, the new life is exactly like the previous one, only I’m one day older and put a couple extra miles on this worn out husk.

So my new thing is to start running. Maybe I can gain her respect and her heart by diving into one of her pastimes, and that is long distance running. Right now, I suppose I have little to lose, since I have yet to enjoy just being with her, hearing her dreams and goals, diving into the thoughts and ideals of this other human being. Now, I have nothing. So, I have little which can be sacrificed, nothing which can be given.

So I am more than willing to try anything to grab her attention, sacrificing the only thing I have to offer, my body, to a sport that screams at you to stop. Hmm. Maybe a marathon is the physical metaphor for this whole affair in some odd way.
