All the candles
burning down to the metal,
the radiator singing its dumb water song.
[…]
The dust
in my lungs.
Knock it
out of me.

When
did it get so cold?

SMWI*: It’s a shame that sometimes
It’s a beautiful thing
to have lungs that allow you to breathe air
and legs that allow you to climb mountains,
and it’s a shame that sometimes
we don’t realize that that’s enough.

- SMWI*: Saturday Morning Work-Out Inspiration
Work-Out Inspiration: And my excuse would be…what?
He was born with cystic fibrosis, a chronic progressive disease characterized by a thick, sticky mucous that clogs the lungs. Each day, he takes 50-70 pills. And he hooks himself up to a machine called the vest that shakes his upper body for 1-1.5 hours a day to loosen the mucus from his lungs. All this – – so he can run. He’s run 6 marathons, five of which have been under 4 hours. Why does he do it?
“I do it because I want to prove to myself that I can…I run because one day I might not able to.”
