Unlike what the previous reviewer seems to believe, the poem is not in iambic pentameter. I mean... the second foot is inverted... and there are several lines that have more than five feet. Don't get me wrong, variations are okay, but here there is no design. Sorry I just didn't want you to have the illusion that you'd written a perfectly structured sonnet.
That said, writing in meter is desperately tricky and I don't feel as though I have any business attempting it.
Your rhyme scheme, however, is intact and I thought your rhymes were pretty decent: none of them seemed particularly forced which was nice.
I generally like poems about running I think, but I'd take a closer look at your word choice in general, the previous reviewer had some good ideas about that.
best,
