Ode to the prep for my run

I’ve got my kit all ready

I’m going off to bed

If I get my kit ready

I’ll do what I have said

I’m getting up 06:30

Really early, for my run

If you have your kit ready

Why don’t you come along?

I’ll have a glass of water

And tie my hair right back

As for banana and the porridge oats

I’ll just have to look forward to that

We’ll start off with the warm up walk

And then take off real slow

It’s not about the Kms we cover

As slow’s the way to go

I’ll listen to the music

And sing along real loud

And if i spot a dog walker

I’ll smile ‘cos we’ll be proud

The breathing is important

As we don’t want a stitch

So s-l-o-w breaths in should do it

And watch out for that ditch!

The last 5 mins might hit me

As 25 is a battle

But I’ve come this far with struggles

So this is just another stage to tackle

I’ll let you know how I get on

I’ll post another rhyme

It may not be straight after

As the cold shower takes up my time

That’s cool... have a great run... I can’t join you as I’ll be busy until 9am, but then I have a 5 mile run to do, so you can report back in and give me some inspiration to take with me.

Brilliant! I may have to put a copy of it on my kitchen wall as my motivation! But 0630? That’s above and beyond - I think I’m doing well if I’m out by 0830!! Well done WWL!

Love it, and I do get my gear ready the night before and I do go out at 6.30. It’s flipping dark due to the clock change!

Printing out and putting on the fridge!
