I recieved a card from my Mom this week. She wrote a fun poem for me and sent it with a $50 bill. I want to share the poem with you because it made me happy to read it and really encouraged me. I think that this poem my be one of the reasons I had such a great 6 mile run today.
8 weeks to train running to and fro
Miles and miles you have to go
As they click off and you leave them behind
Remember that before you know, you'll cross the line.
The legs and heart do get strong
And while you run you do no wrong
Camraderie and sister time
Valued more than a diamond mined
A break now and then to gather your wits
Will help to ensure that you do not quit
Soon you will finish and be oh so proud
We will be cheering oh so loud
Gloria's* will hit the spot
We'll have a celebration not forgot
For now go out to lunch on Dad and me
And take a moment to shout for glee.
*This is where we are going with Mom & Dad and our Hubbies after the race.(http://www.gloriassecretcafe.com/)
p.s. Ava, ok, ok, it wasn't really a $50 it was a $20.
we have such a great mom!!
ReplyDeleteSuccess is like housekeeping
ReplyDeleteIt's a daily chore
You have to do it all over again every day
You can't rest on your laurels
Yesterday's runs won't get you across today's finish line.
this is tweaked a little!
