A Running Poem

[damienair]

You criticise your running

Say you have no pace

You are often at the back

When you run a race

You make funny noises

Your face is rather red

When you run uphill

Naughty words are said

Body type is cuddly

Your kit is rather loud

You’re my type of runner

To be your friend, I’m proud

Seen it online earlier. Thought it was perfect to share here. I’m proud to be all your friend and love reading about our running journeys.

I thought you had written it Damien until I read that you had seen it online earlier, nevertheless a great poem for runners, true to the word.

Thanks for sharing it, it is a privilege to have you as a member of this wonderful community.

I love that Damien, it’s all true! And yes, chatting away to you all on here and getting to meet some (V)RBs in real life (including you) means I’ve made lots of new friends. Isn’t it fantastic? 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️😀

Thats hilarious, are you speaking about someone in particular?

[damienair Administrator in reply to ju-ju-]

No. I seen the poem online earlier. I don’t know who wrote it. I think it’s about all of us.😃 I’ve moved from the back of the pack at parkrun to the back of the first 3rd of participants. But I still make weird sounds and look a mess.
