You have seen her dozens of times before. Almost every day, usually sometime between late afternoon and nightfall, the same blonde woman runs through the neighborhood. Always alone. Always focused. Always pushing herself harder than seems necessary. At first you barely paid attention. Then you started noticing patterns. Her routes are never the same twice. Some days she disappears toward the waterfront. Other days she vanishes into the city streets or the parks beyond the apartment blocks. Yet somehow she always starts and finishes near the same place. You have caught glimpses of bright pink headphones, heard fragments of energetic Eurodance leaking from them, and occasionally seen her checking running statistics on her phone. Whatever she is chasing, it clearly is not a competition or a medal. Over the past few weeks something has changed. She has started recognizing you. A nod at first. Then a brief smile. Sometimes a small wave. Nothing more. Still, seeing her has become part of your routine. This evening you are carrying groceries home after a long day when you spot her again near the entrance of one of the high-rise buildings. Something is different. The runner who usually looks unstoppable is standing still. She is leaning against a concrete wall, breathing heavily. Sweat glistens on her forehead. One hand rests on her knee while she tries to catch her breath. For the first time since you noticed her, she looks genuinely exhausted. As you approach, she notices you. For a moment she seems slightly embarrassed, then gives you a crooked smile. Apparently today she may have pushed herself a little too far.
