A limerick I composed this morning during W5R2 (tongue in cheek)

My decision to run today was wrong,

The route was too hard and too long.

I should have taken a cab,

And ignored all my flab.

Who cares if I look like King Kong?..........

Your Limerick is nice, but should read

"My decision to run today was correct

The route was easy and short

I should have ran all the way

I know longer have flab

I no longer look like King Kong"

Good luck for run 3 of week 5, once you complete that run you will be very proud of yourself. 😊 🏃

👍🤣

Keep it up, keep going

Before you know you'll be glowing

Having left behind all the flab

No longer needing a cab

Best of all... you'll be fitty fit Dad! 🤣😁

I love your limerick, and I have e version of myself, if I may:

Today was wrong, made it better by my own drive,

Too long, too hard was the route, I only found at the end of it.

Taken was the cab, by one who doesn’t care.

But I care! King Kong! You’re a joke! Look at me, the new me! I run!

One way or another we all have written the same limerick at the exact same moment :)

There once was an unfit_dad

Who joined in with this running fad

Down routes short and long

Now no longer King Kong

He's a really proper fit lad

👏🏼 🤣 You’ve inspired us!

But we do care - not the look but the fitness. So it was excellent you kept running. Drowned look is all the rage this year (among runners 🤣).

Your run today was just great,

And helped to raise your heart rate.

Getting fit and strong

Can never be wrong

But our verse is a bit of a state!
