Why's my heart rate high?
Summer, so could be the heat
Or the half-clothed girls.

Stop trying so hard
Keep the arms relaxed, head high.
The haiku will come.

Woke up, spilled my tea,
Recalled that intervals hurt.
Today has begun.

Mind follows body.
They fly into space, high, sigh
Never high enough.

6 miles

5 miles

Pain for the first two.
Then my legs stop their crying
And accept their fate.



5 mile recovery

Up by the river.
Head happy, knees not so much
Why'd they use cement?



6 mile recovery
