My Longest Run Ever- Honest!

An Ode on Completing My Longest Run, Scouts Honour

In Barbour hat with natty brim

I stepped outside, the weather grim

My off road route was somewhat boggy

So off I squelched, my trainers soggy

But in spite of such precipitation

Today’s a day for celebration

I ran my longest distance yet

And though returning soaking wet

I feel like I ‘m a running champ

Though more than just a little damp

One cloud upon my jubilation -

I noted with some deep frustration -

My fingers slipped and did not tap

The start button on my Strava app ☹️

And so I feel a tad bereft

As Strava doesn’t think I left....

Wonderful poem and by the sound of it a great run...it s really annoying when the tech lets us down. Just enter it manually and enjoy the feeling of achievement of a longest run so far 😊

This really made me chuckle! 😄 So much genuine Runners Experience in a few, well judged couplets. 👏🏼 Absolutely, definitely, certainly your longest run ever - we believe you. Definitely. 😊🎶🎉

Which means... it never happened...

You really did not run...

It it isn't there on Strava

The run was never begun...

So now you need another day

When the weather is equally dire

In order to repeat this run..

To prove you're not a L*** :)

Seriously... huge well done you.. soggy running takes determination ) Well done on the longest distance too :) xx
