Poem of the Day:

       FIVE MILE WINK

Five miles steady
I am ready—
Sneakers double laced
I will stick to my pace.

Breathe in confidence
Exhale doubt
I will not back down
I’m in the arena now—

Resilience shining through
Fight and courage too
My legs charge with every stride
My arms glide at my side

Body, heart, mind in sync—
I give a wink
A secret I know for me
To run with joy and be free

I’m on the move
With nothing to prove
Strong like a mother
I am no other
I am a runner
