I was up for it, went for it, did it
Well, after yesterday’s disappointment
I needed to lift body and spirit
And so I left work early and I went
Home quickly, changed, popped in the car, then spent
Too long driving in early rush hour queues
But by 5.15 drove around the bends
Of Poynton and Pott Shrigley; couldn’t lose
Any more time. No warm up. Running shoes
Already on, into Lyme Park, up wet
Stone tracks, through mud and over tussock, bent
On finishing a two-hour run. Such views
From hilltops: cityscape, orange sky-lit;
Deer in the moonlight. Darkness by descent.
