A birthday poem for a special person...

A runner, a poet who tells a good tale,

she compares her pace to that of a snail,

She tells us her stories, setting the scene,

When we get to the end, we feel like we’ve been!

Her cheers from the sideline are all that we need,

She keeps us all going, Oh yes indeed.

If it weren’t for this lady then where would we be?

We’d be back on the couch eating pizza for tea!

Today is her birthday, so let’s raise a glass

to the FABULOUS Oldfloss

Happy birthday young lass xxxxx

Hope you’re enjoying your birthday, I know you’d love to have been with your family but hopefully you’ve seen them to some degree??

I just want to say what a special person you are, I owe all the Kms I’ve ever done to you and I shall take you out with me on my run tomorrow xxxx

Sending lots of love xxx 💓

Bev

Happy birthday, enjoy. Your posts helped me so much when I started out on this journey 4 years ago. Still plodding along , happy doing my 5k 3 times a week. Did do a couple of 10’s but decided I like being a 5k plodder better 😁😁. Thank you for helping me and countless others when we were wavering. Have an extra slice of cake.... then jog it off tomortow 🍰🍰🍰💐💐🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
