Heart rate. Pace. Sleep.

Stress. Another Tuesday.

Read only.

Read only.

Don’t touch the source.

One writer. Everything else watches.

Steps in a row,

days in a line,

six years folded into horizontal time.

Zoom in.

There—

that winter.

that race.

that week

you stopped sleeping.

Load rising.

HRV falling. Cadence stable.

No conclusion.

Again.

Again. Compare it again.

Give me the month.

Give me the year.

Give me every run

where the heartbeat sat here.

One hundred and seventy five.

One hundred

Foot. Foot. Breath. Beat.

Foot. Foot. Breath. Beat.

THE BODY MAKES THE DATA.

THE DATA MAKES THE PICTURE.

THE PICTURE ASKS A QUESTION.

THE QUESTION CALLS A TOOL.

THE TOOL RETURNS—

two hundred rows.

Read only.

Read only. I can look.

I can compare.

I can draw a line

through almost anything.

But was I tired?

Was I stronger?

Was it the weather?

Was it work? Was it sleep?

Was it me?

Insufficient evidence.

Fair enough.

Tag it.

New shoes.

Bad sleep. Good day.

No reason. Great run.

Felt awful.

Personal record.

Personal record. Personal record.

Personal— The graph climbs.

The graph falls.

The graph does not know

what any of this cost.

Another morning. Another number.

Another little point

appears on the line.

Still watching.

Still moving.
