First 5K Run

Delaney finished her first 5K run! She showed up, worked hard, and had fun!

She gave me the inspiration for the poem of the day.

Where do you find your inspiration to create?

Poem of the Day:

First 5K Run
The start has begun. 
Stride for stride
her arms and
legs come alive
Weaving through the crowd
She smiles—
Mom I got up the hill 
how much longer now?  

Silly conversations
to sidetrack tired  
legs and pain. 
Reassuring her— 
walking is okay.   
Counting cones to keep 
her moving—
One, two, three...

The cheers roaring 
A downhill soaring
Finish is in sight— 
Kick it in with all
your might. 

A gift today for this mother runner—
A daughter to run alongside 
My heart is full of pride.
