#721 isn't marathon training hard?

running is easy for me
i have legs that work
they are not fast
or strong enough to stand out
they are miracles
like everyone's legs
but they are plain, as legs go

running is easy for me, i know i can do it
though i may doubt my ability to run well
i never doubt my ability to run well enough
so if running is easy
what's the hard part?
...going running

stepping into the shorts
forcing feet into socks
lacing the sneakers
all easy
even easier than running

but choosing these things
choosing to step outside
despite a hundred easy and excellent excuses
that's my hard part
