sick satisfaction

Afraid of yoga

Afraid of yoga
Flexible as a wish bone
Body snaps in half

Major mid run burps

Linda Bang adds:

I have one more thing
It comes halfway through my runs
Major mid run burps

I am clearly the gastrointestinal expert on your blog…?

My post run recovery

Once again, Jill at Jogging Jeans, keeps it real after a long run and leg pain that won’t go away. You can submit your own haiku (syllables 5-7-5) to runninghaiku@gmail.com.

Compression stockings
A muscle relaxer and
Four ibuprofens

Expired pain pill
And then a really long nap
Getting old sucks a$$

Reasons why I run

Reasons why I run
“Liking it” not on the list
Do it anyway

A gin and tonic?

This one is dedicated to She’s Losing It and her trainer Daniel for getting my butt in gear.

Cut loose and have fun
Something more fun than drinking?
Fitting into dress

A gin and tonic?
I’ll tell you a ‘lil secret
It’s sparkling water

Food coma

Stomach will erupt
Passed out in a food coma
Not a pretty sight

Happy birthday haiku

I had no intentions of announcing it was my birthday or of posting a haiku today but someone suggested they were expecting one. Then I got to thinking about how many things I’ve done the last few years I never thought I would or could do and came up with this one during my birthday hike and after this morning’s Insanity workout. Just so you don’t think someone has kidnapped me and replaced me with an alien, I’ll add a picture of me with a beer later this evening. I hope life is treating you as well as it is treating me. And, if it isn’t, I hope you find a way to make it better.

More fit than ever
Be pleased with one year older
Take pride in your health
