My Running Days Are Now Over

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

10Ks, half marathons and full ones,

I used to love all of that cardio tons.

Smashing my feet on concrete streets,

But I'm still one of those fitness freaks.

Watching what I eat, starting to get older,

Although my running days are now over.

Sprint on the treadmill every so often,

40 plus years old but I'm not stoppin'

    A great poem of what the body grows accustomed to and how it depends upon what it is used to. Nicely written as a metaphor it applies to all things in life.

    Indeed, we may slow down a bit, but no stopping! Well done, friend! 🌹👏

    here's wishing you reach the goal you are aiming for
