The Run

I love the days just going for a run
Picturing the start line and hearing that gun
The best day to go is a little drizzle of rain
Your mind just wanders forgetting the pain

It's great to be out and see the dogs on a walk
You say good morning but no time to talk
Your steps dodge puddles as you go along
Not even thinking how far that you've gone

Here comes a runner going so fast
With a quick head bob they smile and pass
That's a runners language saying enjoy your run
Then the mist disappears and out comes the sun

A rainbow appears and lights up the sky
It's like seasons changing as each mile goes by
So get out and run even just a mile or two
Your body will thank you and your mind will too
