trail beneath my feet again,

cool rain a’falling.

the alarm clock went off,

heard the rain outside and thought

“I’ll skip today’s run”

day 3434
I started to read,
my eyes quickly glazed over;
you know it’s tax time

through the construction,
feeling the wind shove the car,
minding the lane lines

toward’s the run end,

I huffed, puffed, and sang some songs

to keep me moving

day 3407

running ‘round the track

and wishing I was outside

on my river-trails

day 3316/day 3317

day 3316
the time when I run,
is when my my thoughts can settle,
and new ones begin

day 3317
constantly looking
at the trail, avoiding rocks,
finding the best line

stood among the racks,

talking about trailrunning

and where are the shorts?

running on the track

confirmed why I run on trails

almost all the time

I sat there thinking
about a challenge months hence,
and the miles between

started down the trail,

my arms swinging, legs pumping,

raising my heart rate

I tried to exhaust
myself, to see if I had
the needed reserves

outside, I hear rain;
inside, actors rehearsing
an upcoming play.

day 3221

I watched the people

as they biked, walked, ran, ambled

down the Oak Leaf Trail.
