Marathon Training on Mid Summer Morning

5 Stanzas of Haiku

Meet at five fifteen. 

See lightning. Hear thunder. Run. 

Then the big rain starts. 

Keep going forward. 

Seven mile workout gets done. 

Despite the weather. 

Reminded me of

Running through streams in high school

Cross country races. 

Lauren felt stronger

Than she had in a long while

On a tempo run.  

Mission accomplished. 

With Freedoms Run marathon 

And Comrades ahead.
