The best and the worst
Remind me to train
the next time I commit to
run a relay race
To make matters worse
national Nike runner
is leading my team
Thousands of runners,
only we can lay claim to
the best and the worst

seventeen syllables about the humor, inspiration, and pain in running
Archive for the tag “Ragnar”
Put your hands up in the air
Winter slump over
Put your hands up in the air
‘Cause this bitch is back
If I head to this town, I enter from the west side. I never run all the way through town to this sign on the east side. This is when I knew I was going to get ten miles done for the first time in half a year.

Planning starts with beer
Picked our hellish routes
Excited for hill training

Ain’t it peculiar?
I didn’t notice the similarity until 3-time Ragnar teammate Frederic de Vedrines emailed this haiku. The shirt is more similar to the front door color than it appears in this photo.

Best not to forget
There are basic rules
Cut toenails before a race
Best not to forget
Bloody shoe
Bloody sock
Bloody toes
Double dog dare
Running in blue jeans
It was a double dog dare
Didn’t slow me down
Have to give a shout out to Jill at Jogging Jeans @joggingjeans and marathon blue jean runner Dan @12in12in12dan for the inspiration and Ragnar Relay for the most fun I have every year.
Stupid sprained ankle
From one of my favorite but often injured Ragnar teammates, Alex Hristov, also a proud Canadian.
Stupid sprained ankle,
Too bad: needed for running
But not for drinking
Run, girl, run!
Even though my mom is wrong in her assessment of the hills I’m about to run, I appreciate her encouragement, and even more so that she put it in haiku form. Enjoy one from Marcie Neuman.
Hills are not a prob
Easy, breezy. Run, girl, run!
Don’t forget the beer
