in training

while training for an upcoming
3 k race
to cure
sleep apnea
I stop in the park and
rest for awhile.
I've already run a half
a k,
so I deserve it.
I lie down on a bench
with my leggings
and orange running shoes,
my head band
and wrist monitor
that informs me of my
progress.
I see people eating their
lunches. sandwiches and apples.
a woman over there
in yoga pants is licking
an ice cream cone.
although it might be frozen
yogurt.
this makes me think of the food
that I will reward
myself with after this workout.
I love running, so much.
but I like
lying on a bench
in the sun even more.
