My shoes are laced up,
And my mind is made up.
I am going to run.

Nothing will stop me,
No one will hold me back.
I will not listen to the voices that say;
"That is too hard". Or, "That is too far".
I am going to run until I can go no further.

I am determined, I am capable, I am strong.

I don't push the limits, I break them!
I am free from my obesity,
And I am free from my shame.

I am determined, I am capable, and I am strong.

I am a runner.

    Thank you Elicia. : )

    A poem challenge, huh? I'm afraid that you will crush me like a bug. For YOU, my friend, are the word master.

    But what the heck, I'm game. : )

    Hey! Me too! :)

    (And don't you just LOVE that feeling?! As my coach pointed out, no one has ever regretted a run once it was over)

    Um, does your coach know people? Like, real humans?

    She just qualified for the Boston Marathon so she herself is not human, but I most definitely am human and I think she's probably right. :)

    Bravo, girly. Sorry I was the last to read this. Hopelessly busy woman that I am, I still keep this blog as a priority. And you, of course. Sweet (and sweaty) friend.
