My 10 Mile Run

Mile one What a nice day Nice breeze Nice sun Mile two What a nice day Nice breeze Sky so blue Mile three Flowers bloom Cool breeze A playful bee Mile four What was I thinking Mile five Problem Mile six Lungs on fire I realize now I love the taste of air Mile seven AIR!!! Mile eight Who needs air? Water has oxygen! Mile nine WATER! Mile ten Muscle twinges screaming That last mile a battle The prize Knowing I can Just like in life When our faith is tested Our endurance grows - James 1:3 And don’t forge to drink water

Thank you! It's a true story. I did run 10 miles, except when I finished the run, I was saying something else. Haha!
