o.t.s.o…..January

A short poem for each of the 12 calendar months to give just a flavour of how running changes as the cycle of the year rolls around. 

————————————————————-

Jools hootenanny’s come and gone

December’s glitter fading fast

but look ahead and realise

the best things aren’t all in the past

—————————————————————————

Though now in winter’s fiercest grip

the countryside still fast asleep

an early morning sunrise run

in sparkling frost that bites so deep

——————————————————————–

And startling robins, fox and deer

with footsteps crunching in the frost

the enticing extra hour in bed

will be the one and only cost.

————————————————————————-

The county championships kick off the year

for winners who stuck to their plan

while we who chose more Christmas cheer

achieve the fame of “also ran”…..

Oh well – we’ll try harder next time !!!
