Haiku – The “really, it is this cold already” Run
Bitter winter wind
Legs pushing me through the cold
First mile in a while
•
Finally got myself to a continuous mile today, couldn’t believe it. It has been so long since I did that, and it felt great. It was cold out there, colder than it needed to be. That is the one problem I have with North Carolina in the fall. One day, sunny and warm, the next day, cold with heavy winds. C’est la vie, right?
•
Thank you to this song for helping me push out a few extra steps, came on at just the right time.

Poem – Soldier
What is it like?
To lay your body down.
To spill your blood and life.
Upon the Earthly Ground.
A special thank you to all soldiers and veterans on this day. Your bravery is appreciated.

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday which occurs every year on the final Monday of May.[1] Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.[2] Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service[3]. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
