Running is difficult in the rain or sun,
but it’s at its worst during mile one,
I hate that first mile, it’s always so hard,
I struggle for breadth, already too far,
mile two is much better; it isn’t so bad,
I find my pace and begin to feel glad,
sometimes, in mile two, I want to be done,
but it’s never as bad as the exhausting mile one,
by mile-three, I feel great and want to keep going,
but my calendar has too many appointments showing,
so, except for the weekends, I stop at 5K
I’ll run further when I get faster someday
I like running, and sometimes it’s fun
but I still really loath that nasty mile one
