Third Time Lucky

Last November on a cold dark evening I went to RFRC track session.
I parked my car so that I could see what was happening.
I sat in my car and watched the runners for a few minutes and then I left.
I cried all the way home for not being brave enough to join in.

At the beginning of this year on a cold dark evening I went to RFRC track session.
I deliberately parked my car so that I couldn't see the track.
I got out out of my car and watched the runners for a few minutes and then I got back in and left.
I shouted at myself all the way home for being so stupid to not join in.

This evening on a grey and very wet rainy evening I went to RFRC track session.
I parked my car without any thought of where I was putting it whatsoever.
I nervously walked onto the track and bravely said hello to the other runners.
When asked my 10K pace I replied that I had absolutely no idea!

Three laps, rest, times five, we were off, oh my goodness what was I doing there?
Pouring rain, back of the pack, waiting to be lapped.
Round and round and round I went, gradually getting further behind.
Determination set in, I would not be beaten. I was not beaten.

Task completed, thank you Tanya.
