Running brings me quiet and peace,
and periodic pain at the least.
Running takes me to many beautiful places -
some seen and some imagined - but not jusr for races.
The smells, the sounds - all seasons, all around.
Running allows me to eat many a crepe,
and still be in shape!
Winning - as Sheen says - doesn't really happen often,
but the competition will hopefully delay my visit to the coffin!
Mile after mile, one foot in front of the other.
Feeling the runner's high - that's great brother!
Motivated by thoughts, family and faces
helps me maintain paces.
Endurance, commitment and sacrifice -
it's all part of my running life.
But nothing matters more than crossing the finish line into the arms of my loving wife!
