QUIET—

Strap heartrate monitor. Walk into class.
“Hey Julie–ready?”

This is for ME.
No responsibilities to others.
It’s just me, the treadmill, and Coach.
“Julie, run faster.” I do.

IN THE ZONE—

Sweating,
Heart pounding.
Uninterrupted hour

“See you, Julie.”
That’s right. See you tomorrow, Coach.
