Heart

The human heart is a crucial component of our bodies. Besides functionality, it's a symbol of love, courage and even character.
In the Mayan culture - the greatest sacrifice was to have your heart removed. (The heart still beats (for awhile) after being removed from the body - due to automaticity.)
On my run it will just serve as a pump - delivering blood to my lungs and legs.
(Over 1,500 gallons a day.)
Today, I just want to think about running .
