something to chase

 

I'm glad you ran past me as I was stretching.

I'm glad you gave me the runner's nod so I knew you were for real.

I'm glad you wore a red shirt so I could see you up ahead.

I'm glad you sped up every time you heard me closing in behind you.

I'm glad you didn't turn around and see me take this photo.

to the guy ahead of me on the trail tonight:

thanks for giving me something to chase.
