'Dum, dat, dum, dat, dum, dat' repeat. Every runner knows the sound that his or her shoes make as they repetitively connect with the pavement. The onomatopoeia above is the best way of typing the sound that my Nike Pegasus' make. I can hear it now, as I type. Funnily, the sound that my shoes make while I run can do two things to my currently cloudy mind. As they pound the concrete, in perfect rhythm, they can make me feel like an absolute champion (I'm not, but sometimes I imagine I am). I feel free, full of energy, and almost unstoppable. However, that same exact sound can also drive me mad. You know, the way a prisoner ends up head butting the cell wall because of a leaky pipe that hasn't been fixed for decades? Mad like that.
