LSD + Eros = My Running Bliss

We went to the coast this weekend to see family. Of course, I brought along my running gear so I could run along one of my favorite trails. I also brought along my iPod - something I don't generally do as I very much enjoy running outdoors and listening to the sounds of the river or the birds in my vicinity. I rebuilt my playlists the other day, however, so I was eager to try them out. Put them to the test, if you will.

I departed just after 9 a.m. - Sweetie wishing me well, "Run fast, Mommy!" My intention was to do about 8 miles - play it by ear. I turned on the iPod, synced the Garmin, and took off.

Rather than use my Running Playlist however, I selected the Latin Genre. The first song to play was No Llores Por Mi by Enrique Iglesias. It was a great way to warm-up but it wasn't exactly what I wanted. So, I switched to Eros Ramazzotti's album Calma Apparante. With La Nostra Vita - I knew immediately that this was the rhythm I desired.

It was so blissful to run. Without concern for pace. Without concern for distance. I just enjoyed the moment. Listened to the words. Took in my surroundings. Remembered why I first fell in love with running. I was home.

Sta Passando Novembre

E’ per te
questo bacio nel vento,
te lo manderò lì
con almeno altri cento.
E’ per te,
forse non sarà molto,
la tua storia, lo so,
meritava più ascolto
e magari, chissà,
se io avessi saputo,
t’avrei dato un aiuto.
Ma che importa oramai,
ora che…
Puoi prendere per la coda una cometa
e girando per l’universo te ne vai,
puoi raggiungere, forse adesso, la tua meta,
quel mondo diverso che non trovavi mai.
Solo che
non doveva andar così,
solo che
tutti ora siamo un po’ più soli qui.
E’ per te
questo fiore che ho scelto,
te lo lascerò lì
sotto un cielo coperto.
Mentre guardo lassù,
sta passando novembre
e tu hai vent’anni per sempre.
Ora che…
puoi prendere per la coda una cometa
e girando per l’universo te ne vai,
puoi raggiungere, forse adesso, la tua meta,
quel mondo diverso che non trovavi mai…
non trovavi mai…
puoi raggiungere, forse adesso, la tua meta,
quel mondo diverso che non trovavi mai.
Solo che non doveva andar così,
solo che tutti ora siamo un po’ più soli…
tutti ora siamo un po’ più soli qui…
è per te.
