Beach Bum in Charleston, SC

i ran today in running pants
a long-sleeved shirt, and hat
it felt like 80 or so degrees
i finished and collapsed on the mat
i looked in the mirror, my face all wet
and red, i looked like a beet
i smiled and thought back of a day
when sand was under my feet
a hot, hot day in Charleston
the kids ran to find shade
i ran to find clarity, and felt too hot
my energy seemed to fade
but i ran anyway; i made those steps
a challenge to overcome
and now i look back with a smile
i wish to be a that bum
May your next run be a good one.
