*STARTING PISTOL*
Back at the start line
I glanced across at you
In luminous lycra
Pristine athletic shoes
You have weak hamstrings
I’ve got my misshapen toe
But whilst we’re not sporty
We’re giving it a go!
This 10K run
Has just begun
Our friends have all
Donated
The warm-up done
They fired the gun
I guess it’s now
Or never
Excited crowds
By each water station
Cheer us on our way
I smile with perspiration
Dripping in my eye
*5,000m*
First half was tiring
We’ve never done this before
Now high on endorphins
Our blisters don’t feel sore
A 10K run
Is so much fun
Sweet music fills
My headphones
We’ve hit our stride
We’ll run with pride
Could almost beat
Mo Farah
-aahhaarrgghh!!
*8,000m*
Our 10K run
(It’s almost done)
Just 2K more
Remains now
We’ve come so far
My new sports bra
Has held my boobs
together
And as I slow down
To catch my breath
You smile to me and say:
“Let’s jog behind this hunk and ogle at his bum!”
*FINISH*
And then we cross the line together
Arm in arm
