Running 'round the track on a chilly evening

The night before Thanksgiving,
I ran around the track.
Fifteen 400s; I sure don't slack.
That's almost 4 miles
of speedy, running fun.
Gilbert braved Whole Foods
while 4 Gazelles did their run.
The cold front blasted us,
but it could not shut us down.
Holmes was by my side,
with New-Allison and Starr.
Who knew we'd go for 15?
Who knew we'd run so far?
The family from Burundi
and Meg did the workout, too.
What a time to grow in grace
as I see them brave the New.
The night before Thanksgiving,
Fifteen 400s over and done.
Counting of my blessings - just begun.
