some personal attributes for this discussion post on how i may connect to the poems is that I used to run track & field in high school then when i got to college i continued to always incorporate running at least a mile into my daily routine. sophomore year a horrible accident happened where i fractured my lower right leg and have not been able to run the way I used to and it has been very diifficult to accept this since I used to love running so much.
