Prepping up for my very first 5K
A trial of “something new” from my side
With unease towards an unfamiliar territory
As running is what I have never really tried
One day out-of-blue, I ran hundred meters
Thumping in the air -awkwardly yet fine
I thought with a glee -Let’s stack it up a little
Lets run the whole long three plus miles
The dread of defeat -What will others think
The baggage of self-shaming hurt inside
Will I show up -run- feel adrenaline rush
Or leave the race without even remotely trying
The fear of failure is deeply in-rooted
Has hindered my path before so many times
If I don’t try - I will fail to feel the joy
Want to face challenge -right way this time
Joining a partner with same aspiring journey
The workouts - the nutrition-the whole package as we speak
Connecting with friends - with nature - with self
I wonder what this adventures experience will teach
Picking up this exciting quest in my life
With small ambitious plan- unknown end effect
Embracing the sweat , the pain and the hard work
With appreciating the delights of journey in itself
