My first mile!

Last night, after a great morning and a crummy afternoon, I ran my first mile. I was determined to do it, and if I'm honest, I was already ready to give it a go earlier in the day when I was feeling cheerful.

It was about 50 and rainy, and absolutely glorious. It felt freaking amazing. And, I was inspired to write a poem. Here it is.

**********************************

First run

I ran today
In the rain with my thoughts
The trickle of cool water
Flowing
Down my spine

I ran today
Feet pounding the pavement
Splashing through puddles
Washing away
The day

March rain
Nearly spring
Soaking into my skin

One mile
Breathe in
Breathe out
Inhale
Exhale
Run
Run
Run

Today I took a leisurely walk and stretched my muscles while I caught Pokemon and battle at a few gyms. And thought all day about how I'm going to run again soon. But I do need to get fitted for good shoes, so that's on the agenda.
