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

Notes to this poem…
Lots of black socks are
In my future with
Dyeing tests of running shoes

Notes to this poem…
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

Notes to this poem…
Visited more war
Memorials on my run
Than most will today –
On a special route I took
For this year’s Remembrance Day

Left my legacy
In Skagway via
Three trains that I beat running

Why don’t they have medals for
Different running
Styles like with swimming?

Notes to this poem…
Both mind and body
Resisted running today –
But to no avail –
My heart and soul made them run –
And run an extra mile, too!

Notes to this poem…
Got to race the train
Much like a scene in the first
Superman movie –
Though I was in the dockyards
Rather than an open field

At lots of black flies
On my run today –
The best protein supplements!

Ran faster than planned
Today due to a threat –
But only a threat of rain

Notes to this poem…
Once – I used to run
Like there were no tomorrow –
Now – I tend to run
Like I will live forever –
And I might for doing so!
