Haiku – The “Cherry Blossoms” Run

Dark black clouds hanging

Thick, fat, heavy with spring rain

Running hard today

Good day out there on the old running shoes.  I had one of my better timed runs.  For the 4 mile walk/run that I usually do, I don’t think, of course, don’t quote me on this, but I don’t think I have been under 50 minutes since I started doing it.  I was just over 48 minutes earlier today, which may not seem like much to most folks, but for me that is a turning point.  I’ve always been a slow runner.  Nice to see the legs maybe churning in my favor.  How about you, fellow runners, what kind of times do you shoot for?  Do you have a best time, one you are proud of?  Just shout it out to me if you do.  

By the way, there’s a reason I love Jimmy Buffett’s music so much.  I wasn’t sure I was in the mood for it when I started running today, but after a couple of songs I was feeling those mellow vibes all over again.  Just something about his tunes that takes me away, and hooks me every time.  I have always loved this song below, and I never tire of it.  Classic.
