8.25 miles 1:10:33

The wind blows me back.
Not the park, it nestles me
Deep within its curves.

4.2 miles in 40:20

Dragged myself outside.
Nose is running, feet are not.
Life post-Marathon.

18 miles

Turtles in the pond
Are eating crunchy cheese puffs.
Don't ask-- it's New York.

Pace yourself, then surge.
Look strong, go slow, stay behind.
Soon your time will come.

Work boils over
Like lava-- burns the Sandman.
Running cures nightmares.

We start together
I lean forward, run ahead
My thoughts stay with her.

FRNY Lesbian and Gay Pride Run 5 miles

My fastest time yet--
Pounded up hills, glided down.
Nightmares defeated.
