Tough Mudder (Seattle 2012)

I started out strong
Body flew over the wall
Adrenaline push

Split my pants in half
Teammate did quick stitching job
Ass still in the wind

Couldn’t do it all
Trained hard but not hard enough
Body beaten blue

Friends kept me going
Team was an inspiration
GeekWire Mudders

Bucket list shorter
Conquered Seattle Mudder
Vancouver is next

Get lost in the now

Already tired?
Don’t think about what’s ahead
Get lost in the now

My love

Nothing makes my day like the email I received, copied below. I love guest authors.

Good Morning Charla,

I found your blog yesterday (after you subscribed to mine, thank you) and I loved it!

I was inspired this morning to do some Haiku pondering while I ran this morning. What an awesome distraction!

After being sidelined from running for 5 weeks, as I recovered from an automobile accident, this was rather easy J

My Love

I awake beaming
Finally released to run
A welcome return

Time apart from you
Only fuels my great desire
My love is my run

Thanks for the inspiration!
