this body

this body of mine has done me well

I ask a lot from it, and it continues to respond

I work hard to keep it strong and toned

I abuse it at times too...

tomorrow I will ask it again to work for me in a race

I am running in the KC marathon

not the whole thing, but in a relay

5 of us have been working hard and training for each of our segments

the route is a hilly one so we have added hill repeats to our weekly runs

they're really hard...but rewarding

we are all ready

we will have a blast

we will ask our bodies to again work hard for us

and for the first time in a long time, I am happy

I am happy with this body of mine
