Hurdles At 36 Poem by Anita Atina

Hurdles At 36



36 and fit
Jetting between cars and planes
In the hot seat of success

Never careless or drunk
Eating carefully
Gymming regularly

On a regular evening
Minor discomfort
Escalated rapidly

From treadmill to the operation table
Angioplasty and clots removed
In time to save his life

Is this what he was running for?
At 36 a serious heart condition
Has thrown up a surprising hurdle

I'm a runner at 64 and so far I have cleared all the hurdles.
