A little C25K poem for newbies

The C25K Shuffle

I am off the couch, look at me!

Pounding the pavement, running free.

New motivation and determination,

Say goodbye to procrastination.

App at the ready, trainers on,

Who cares about those looking on.

I may be slow, I may be steady

But I am feeling great already!

Fab poem. I've been moved to poetry before now due to running, although mostly I end up writing new lyrics to songs on my playlist. (I have several on my previous posts).

Hope you continue to enjoy your running. :-)
