Back in the Saddle

I’m back in the saddle again.

A short warm up run

To start the work week.


I huff and I plod along,

Enjoying the green buds and the birds’ chirp,

The start of spring.


I think about how I felt in NYC,

A lean, mean marathon machine.

That was a long time ago.


I may be out of shape, 

But my mind is stronger than my body.

Stronger than when I started this quest.

I’ve grown.
