My Daily Jog

Up with the birds at the crack of dawn On with the tracksuit now slightly worn Where is my ipod, I had it last night On with the headphones, the volumes just right I’ve got everything, I think I’m now ready I start off quite slow, nice and steady Remember the plan, I set the pace It’s only a jog, you’re not in a race I’m starting to sweat, my heart starts to pound My legs turn to jelly as they hit the ground My mind starts to work, thoughts in my head Why do you do this? You could be in bed! I cross the road, without out a good look A car blasts its horn, he takes me to book I turn the last corner, my home is in sight My time gets no better, try as i might!

Nicely written, I'm not a jogger but you took me on the journey with you. Good writting.

Maurice 4th line I missed that, thank you. He takes me to book means to point out the errors of ones ways, a bit like my 4th line from bottom! Regards Roger

Nice flow to this poem. I'm not a jogger. just a stroller with my dog, usually in the morning. 4th line from bottom: "without out"? 3rd line from bottom: not familiar with "he takes me to look"? Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M
