No Watch, Just Heart

Today I ran
I ran with my heart
Five flowing laps around the park
Not caring to bring my stopwatch
Distance, not time would be my mark

For a runner to run without a watch
Feels incomplete, feels wrong
But then again, where does that sense come from?

For me, I know
It's from the past
School days of track and field training
Of laps after laps with lungs bursting
An old habit
A familiar habit
It feels right then
But then again
Today I discover
The joy of running
Without target lap times to cover
Today, it's no watch - just heart!
