We need more words for mud, it’s true.

Yes, I have a poem in here. But there's nothing else out there like it. If you run (or briskly jog, like I do) you will connect with this poetry, shaped into four different categories in the collection. I can't think of another poetry collection based purely on a sport, especially a "life sport" like running. Enjoy it.

An enjoyable anthology with many poems that resonated with me and articulated what I love about running.
