Running poem

O-k - if you had asked me about my favorite running poem about 2 months ago - I probably would have started laughing. However, now I am on the road to becoming a full runner and I actually have a running poem that I like. I cannot say that I am the runner in the poem yet - but I can appreciate it. Maybe you can too...

Running is a road
to self awareness
and self reliance.
You can push yourself to extremes
and learn the harsh reality of
your physical and mental
limitations
or
coast quietly down
a solitary path
watching the Earth
spin at your feet.
But, when you are through,
exhilarated and exhausted,
at least for the moment
everything seems right
in the world.
