Worthy Run

It was a quarter to six in the morning, and I wanted to be in bed, warm, safe, asleep.

But no, I had to run, now, since I had no time later, nor would I have energy for when I did have the time.

So as I started off, my feet quickly aching, I knew that this was supposed to help me in the long run, that maintaining my schedule would help keep me healthy and strong.

But as the wind cut into my skin, and it began to rain, I considered it if was worth it.

It was not.
