Seeing too much of this lately, where is the love?

A poem that voices the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects familiar to the runner.

Inside a 200 Metre race runners mind.

It is not the start of the race but how you finish that counts.

There were many days when it was extremely hard work, often in difficult conditions. When the opportunity arose to have some fun I was not too far away from the cause.

Poem inspired when on the Big Island.

The final play in the game known affectionately as, America’s Game. Baseball!

You need relax.

Pain can be described in terms of sheer misery and suffering, indicative of hunger, homelessness, despair, incurable diseases, mental and physical breakdowns, as well as other circumstantial reversals, for which there can be ample justification for moaning and groaning. On the other hand, pain can be trivial and temporary, unless it unexpectedly crosses over to the other side where it could be unbearable.

A runner and is bottle of water.
