In the Beginning

Everyday is a beginning, and in the beginning, it's always murky - sometimes even dark.  Beginnings still take determination and fight - whether it's a new run or another day toward a new life.  It's not until the first bead of sweat breaks that the rhythm of the trail or the day takes over.  It's self-sustaining until the exhaustion that must come does, but when it passes, what is left behind is the fight and determination to begin again tomorrow.
