Natural born chiller

I’m not a natural born runner

I'm really not built for speed

don’t get me wrong I like my sport

but I also like a feed

I know it's doing good for my heart

and it will hopefully reduce the load

so despite my urge to do other things

I get out on the road

I'd like to share some observations

and go into the unknown

share something from my psyche

and hope I'm not alone

1) I seem to run my fastest

when I passing a busy place

I some how pick the pace up

as if competing in a race

2) I also find in built up places

I run whilst breathing in

To diminish my bulky profile

and create the illusion of being thin

3) My mind is my worst enemy

and it distracts me in my run

it tells me that I'm knackered

and that I really should be done

I recognise it's voice these days

and I never let it win

but I do find it quite curious

that this critic lives within

4) It doesn't matter how tired I am

at the end of my jogging stint

I always find the energy

to finish on a sprint

5) I sometimes run with comedy

playing on my ipod

but I do think a laughing jogger

as a site is just quite odd

6) If I'm running a circuit with an incline

then I'll tackle the up hill first

leaving the easier back leg

so I can finish on a burst

All these things and more

I ponder when running about

it's probably these oddities

that actually tire me out.
