Ode to Seymour Super Fun Run 2009

15 of us set out from the coffee shop to run, walk, jog, slosh, slide and teeter, until we petered,

out and about the misty Seymour mountains.

2 of us turtlepacers stuck together,

We bounced down Ned’s and over the Bottle Top

2 became 1 when a calf cried stop!

3 times alone I thought I might quit,

My legs and lungs felt like s***

1 PB&J, 2 Clif bars, and 85oz of Gatorade kept me grooving,

1 foot in front of the other kept me moving

Then 2 dudes on bikes told me, “We just saw a running pack, up on Bridle.”

With a new surge of energy, I would not idle. 

Up the trail, only 5K to go!

2 gals on bikes now = instant go go go!

… and to boot, they knew the way to Horse Loop!

Old Buck we’re here!  Thank you mountain biking hotties,

So stoked, I shed a tear - I kid you nottie.

280 minutes after we all set out,

I crossed the goal and let out a shout!

27K on a day like today was something else,

and when my 2 eyes saw the other Club Fat Asses

I let out another shout! 

Cool people and good times means…

…we’ll do this again.

How convenient - only 15 days until Pure Satisfaction begins!

I should be able to feel my legs again by then…
