The Joy of Running

I woke up before my snooze,
I got up and tied my shoes
To sleep or to get loose,
The latter is what I choose

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Thank you Barbara and Dr. Ram. The hardest part of running is getting up from your bed and going out of the house especially when it's very cold outside. But once you overcome those two, you will definitely have a great time outdoors. =)
