Needed Distractions

It can be the smallest or weirdest things that keep us going day to day, and so far it has been Harry Potter keeping me running. I started adding mileage about the time the 7th book came out, so Harry, Hermoine and Ron have been keeping me company via book on tape every step so far. That is, until last Friday. Even more than my disappointment at the end of the series, was my disappointment at loosing my running partners. I barely noticed the miles slip by when I was caught up in finding horcruxes and fighting Voldemort. Now, I am aware of each and every step. Last week, I tried to go back to running with music, but it just wasn't the same. Today, I try again with a new audio book.
