Milepost 1

Its written somewhere that old(er) folks should not run But I saw lots of people doing it, I thought it must be fun... Had to have a new outfit, the kind cute runners wear And running shoes, those suckers cost 80 bucks a pair... So off I set out to lose weight and join the" get fit" gang Looked so cool stretching out, then took off with a bang... My goal was a mile- at the time it didn't seem so far But then I was thinking of a mile, doing 60 in a car... About 50 yards out my poor legs began to burn I was gasping for air before I reached the first turn... A cute young thing passed me like I was standing still I tried hard to suppress the strong urge to kill... As you've probably guessed, that first run was a bust But, as in most things in life, "stick-to-it" is a must.. A few weeks went by and one day I finally did it Passed the first milepost , although I felt like sh** It wasn't very pretty and I swear it wasn't easy The thought of going 2 miles makes me kind of queasy
