In honor of this holiday, I submit the following:
Morning Run
With the first calf stretch
the sweat begins.
Rude August heats my blood,
scorches my skin.
Mile one almost defeats me,
Mile two drains me of my resolve,
but a mile from home I have no choice
I must get this insanity done.
Three miles done and a lesson learned
Run earlier in the morning, foolish woman,
or you will be burned!
Liz
