Just a little bit

All of the roads and trails are shit.  Madison really needs to start putting down some salt. Either that, or Mother Nature had better warm up enough to thaw this mess.  Running isn’t as much fun when the primary goal is to try to stay upright.

While slipping and sliding on icy, sludge-covered streets around Lake Monona this morning, I managed to think up just a little bit of poetry…


Just a little bit:

Just a little bit more

Just a little bit longer

Just a little bit sore

Just a little bit stronger

Just a little bit of pain

Just a little bit to suffer

Just a little bit to gain

Just a little bit tougher

Just a little bit of muscle

Just a little bit more fit

Just a little bit to hustle

Just a little bit of grit

Just a little bit dead

Just a little bit defeated

Just a little bit of red

Just a little bit depleted

Just a little bit of a hill

Just a little bit to climb

Just a little bit of a thrill

Just a little bit of time

Just a little bit, let’s go!

Just a little bit left to run

Just a little bit, don’t slow!

Just a little bit and I’m done
