My Hero

Every weekday I go to LA Fitness, I get there before five a.m.;
Every one I see my Hero, her name is Miriam!
She is training for a triathlon, that’s now two weeks away;
It is unbelievably demanding, the price she’s had to pay!
.
Most mornings, up by three a.m., going for a one hour run;
You’d think that she’d be tired then, but her workouts’ just begun!
It’s then off to our large health club, to go swimming in the pool;
For at least another hour, where does she get such amazing fuel!
.
Then it’s home to work and rest a bit, but in the afternoon;
She takes a lengthy bike ride, to keep her muscles tuned!
Now she’s not a young spring chicken, in her forties I would guess;
So to you, “My Hero” Miriam, I’m am wishing you all the best!

P.S.  Miriam’s target time was fourteen hours, but a terrible rainstorm came during her bike ride, with high winds and much cooler temperatures.  However, she still managed to finish in an amazing fourteen hours and twenty-four minutes.
