When evening run highs –
Keeps me from sleeping –
Despite the fatigue

Harbourwalk Poem W295
Marathon training –
Reduced my poetry strolls
On the Harbourwalk –
So much that I may not hit
Five hundred poems this year

One week for a bruise –
On bottom of foot to heal –
Before marathon

Harbourwalk Poem W279
Eating enough to
Fuel myself for marathon
Training is tiring –
Often times more tiring than
Running the distance itself

Harbourwalk Poem W276
Far better than zinc –
To help you run much faster –
Is a good night’s sleep –
Two nights before your race day –
Though both together work best

Legit or sixty dollar
Placebo effect?

Harbourwalk Poem W003
Traversing Sea Bridge –
In opposing directions –
At different speeds –
Running fast and strolling walk –
To get more joy out of it

Destined to be fast or still –
With my heels aching
After walks not runs

Tanka T154
Running through life with
Shoes heavier than most wear –
I’m faster than most –
Repeated triumphs over
Tragedies keep me happy

Running Poem R082
Remember today
When you ran like the wind –
Remember today –
When lightning couldn’t catch you –
Remember today –
When thunder clapped for you –
Remember today –
Because one day –
It will not be this way –
When the storms of time –
Will wreck –
Your body and your mind

Big Lift Ferry Poem F392
Gazelle, machine –
Horse, deer, wind –
Or some other thing –
What do I like my running
To be compared to?
There’s only one thing –
That my running
Truly compares to –
That is the wind –
I run like the wind

With one shot of pain –
I found out where all –
The neurons were in my brain
