empty park
melting snow
first run of spring

ides of March
a warm breeze
running in the park

left foot
right foot
don't tell me to go faster

running for my life
I'm going nowhere
treadmill

top quarter champion

TOP half Chamption

bottom quarter champion

music blasting
can't feel my legs
last lap

in the pool
holding my breath
to outlast my opponent

sore muscles
I get back
into bed

swollen mark
from the fall
rosy cheeks

TOP half champion

CHAMPION

BOTTOM half champion

dragonfly
I have become the master
of Wii Fit yoga

sun salutation
I reach
for my toes

whipping and turning
looking forward
pointe away from trouble

hard day's work
letting loose
at the barre

top quarter champion

BOTTOM half champion

bottom quarter champion

beating
my fears of failure . . .
bench press

a crowded stadium
the young man
steps onto the turf

steep mountain
I pedal my bike
until I run out of air

winding mountain trail
the hikers relax
by the river
