Okay, I've done mine. It's not very good, and as I've never blogged before I think I got the settings wrong at first but I *think* it's viewable now.

I couldn't resist doing another one! :-)

Running backwards – Metro 3k

In events such as Parkrun I do not run backwards. Being small, I am normally nimble and quick and tootie footed as I try pick off runners, albeit towards the middle of the pack. This 3k race was different. It was vacuum packed from the start in the opposite direction with reverse thrust. The lead runners were going so fast, I actually looked at my legs to check they were still moving forward in the intended direction. Time seemed to stand still until the feet thunderstorm passed me by and my legs were once again my own.

I did another............

Challenge Accepted,

Loch Ness you hold for me no fear,

No sign of any monster here.

Fear only of the miles ahead

The aches, the pains,

The wall, the sprains

Big regrets we may have plenty,
Family time unspent,

But in our goal, we can’t repent.

Along the way emotions high,

The sweat, the pain, the tears,
We trained for years.

Walk the ups, run the rest
Do your worst,

No, do your best!

3 hours or 5 or 6 or more
We show you, evil hill of Dore
Conquered

Monster
You were demystified
And oh how jubilantly I cried

i appreciate that, technically, it is a shite poem, and laid out all wrong....! but hey, i tried...!

i loved DQ's 100 word marathon and wanted to crack at it myself, and i was sober, so surely that's worth points!!
