Two For The Road

Yesterday Cindy and I ventured out for our morning run and ride.  The 10 miles I ran were matched by Cindy riding her bicycle 16.2 miles.  I guess you could call that teaming up to do a marathon.  When we go away for marathons, its takes two for the road.  Its empty running when she isn't there.  I draw my energy from her when I reach the valleys of a marathon.  Runners always hit low points during a run, especially marathons and ultras.  They need to find the other person on the road with them who made the same journey, for help.  In life, it works both ways traveling the one road as two together.  Bruce's words say it best in this song.  It should really say three for the road, to include Jesus in our walk/run on Emmaus road.  It takes more than one to rev it up and go, so let's get it running, we're three for the road.

 

Bruce Springsteen

Two for the Road

 

It's one for the money, one for the show
I got one kiss for you honey so come on let's go
I didn't see it coming but girl now I know
It takes one for the running but two for the road

 

One thousand dreams whispered in the dark
But a dream's just a dream in one empty heart
It takes more than one to rev it up and go
So let's get it running, we're two for the road

 

Two one-way tickets and a diamond ring
Hell it don't matter what the rain might bring
When this world treats you hard and cold
I'll stand beside you, we're two for the road

 

When you're alone my love will shine the light
Through the dark and starless night
I'll hold you close and never let you go
Come on now honey, we're two for the road

 I'll stand beside you and I'll never go
Come on now girl, we're two for the road
