Haiku Friday --- Two Miles Each Day

Haiku Friday



Alarm sounds, stretch and go
The air is hot and humid;
Down the street we stride.

Accelerate the pace.
"We haven't seen that before."
Chatter as we go.

Perspiration rolls,
Trickling down our necks and backs
One more lap to walk.

Round the last corner,
Slow the pace, breath deeply
Our health just took GOLD.

I LOVE walking! (Is it walking?) And I especially love walking with friends! What a great sentiment about Health taking GOLD. Fabulous haiku!

How wonderful to get out there and EXERCISE! I used to do this more regularly than I have of late, but I always feel better with movement than without. Thanks for dropping my my ‘wispy cloud’ haiku at Sacred Ruminations earlier. Lotsa folks on the waiting list for a visit here already ;--)
Hugs and blessings,

Excellent! I started walking a couple miles a day with the work ladies when I quit smoking, and I love the way it feels just taking the time out to take care of myself. The sweat isn't so fun, but it's worth it. ;)

Good for you! I love walking...I'm out of the routing now, because of summer, I guess. I'm looking forward to getting back to it.
