Running a 5K
Running is my new passion
Core engaged; shoulders, up back down
Slow & steady finishes the race
My feet moving to the music
Running makes me feel alive
Rhythmic breathing, heart pounding
My feet moving to the music
Streams of sweat dripping down
Rhythmic breathing, heart pounding
Pacing my stride to finish strong
Streams of sweat dripping down
Folks cheering along the way
Pacing my stride to finish strong
Fatigue says, "slow!"; my brain screams, "No!"
Folks cheering along the way
Exhilaration... I cross the line!
The format of this poem is called a Mobile Pantoum.

Yay for runners and bicyclers... is that a word? Heh, but anyway, yeah, biking is alot of fun. I love the speed. ^^ It's really helped my endurance alot. And plus, you really don't have to get all that new of a bike, we got mine at an antique shop, it runs just fine. :) Plus, when I bike, it helps me think. :)
