clouded sky, clouded mind painful knees, route to find, went to the store in the car before                               the run                               the rain one idea followed me run the route I drove, see? eight kilometres less or more, I would find out with my Garmin Forerunner 305, GPS and heart rate monitor to prove that I am still alive, each one point six kilometre was faster than the one before, oppressive clouds closing dark and heavy city scents gust around me each vehicle had a different taste as I pushed the pace, sweat ran down my face, faster and faster, I could not master any speed, just quick enough to plaster my hair against my head hamstring want to cramp me left one, bonus in the last stretch, I could feel the growing twinge the right one knew better to behave, in the end it did end before the rain came before the night fell, tomorrow, I will walk to work and back, I will do stairs, but go ahead and as you think of me, I give you permission to laugh in my difficulty, as I make it through the day, walking funny and taking stares from every one who passes my way.

Run before the rain
clouded sky, clouded mind painful knees, route to find, went to the store in the car before                               the run                               the rain one idea followed me run the route I drove, see? eight kilometres less or more, I would find out with my Garmin Forerunner 305, GPS and heart rate monitor to prove that I am still alive, each one point six kilometre was faster than the one before, oppressive clouds closing dark and heavy city scents gust around me each vehicle had a different taste as I pushed the pace, sweat ran down my face, faster and faster, I could not master any speed, just quick enough to plaster my hair against my head hamstring want to cramp me left one, bonus in the last stretch, I could feel the growing twinge the right one knew better to behave, in the end it did end before the rain came before the night fell, tomorrow, I will walk to work and back, I will do stairs, but go ahead and as you think of me, I give you permission to laugh in my difficulty, as I make it through the day, walking funny and taking stares from every one who passes my way.
