I Want To Run

I Want To Run

When I’m not running, I notice other runners.
I am jealous of their freedom, their endorphins,
their sweat.

 I want to run.

I Want To Run
When I’m not running, I notice other runners.
I want to move my legs, use the full capacity of my lungs,
push past my mental barriers.

 I want to run.

When I’m not running, I notice other runners.
I miss my running shoes, my running friends, 
my runner’s high.

I want to run.

    I know this must be so tough for you!! Know that resting and recovering is best for right now and this, too, shall pass. Hold on!!!

  2. Oh, I feel your pain! Hang in there and keep coming up with fun poems!

  3. Gosh I feel you it is so hard to see everyone running when you cannot. How’s it feeling? Healing? I did something to my foot yesterday and it still hurts today. Funny how that just happens isn’t it?

    I do feel your pain. I have been there, out and going crazy…
    Stick with healing though, it’ll make your runs better later.

    I hope it will not be much longer. You can do this healing thing!

  6. I so so feel your pain! I really hope you’re back to running soon. What’s your prognosis?

  7. Oh you know I feel your pain too! I hope that our bodies decide that we’ve been patient enough and heal quickly. xo
