Cool run this morning
I had to wear the long sleeves,
and some running gloves

Haiku – Going for 8
Today it was eight –
long and challenging hard miles
Splashing in the rain
Another Sunday and another run I didn’t think I had in me.
I have run 8 miles only three times counting today. I usually don’t like to go that far. I just felt like with the busy weeks ahead that this might be my only shot for a while. Surprising enough, it was rather easy, though I did have to run through one of the heaviest rain showers I have ever run in. I was soaked when I got home.

Haiku – Going for 7
Running my butt off –
going for seven long miles.
Know what? I did it.
I haven’t done this distance since early May of this year.
Just happy to get back to it.
This Haiku was running through my head for most of it.
I love this cooler weather.

Poem – The Runner
I just closed down my running blog because I’m trying to consolidate some things. Four blogs was too much so I got it down to three. Here’s a poem some of you might have seen in that running blog. If you haven’t I hope you enjoy reading it.
Stretch.
Slide on your shoes.
Step out the door.
Start out slow.
Feel the burn.
Your legs are tight.
Push on.
The miles start to click.
Faster your heart.
Beating, racing, panting.
The miles clicking away.
No pain, no gain.
Feeling the heat.
The burn.
Feeling great.
The miles are done.
