Those Sneaker Thingies

i so want to do this,
i try to run often
park at the gardens
and run.

last year, i did my first 5K,
so cool.
MCRRC - Montgomery County Roadrunners Club -
nice people,
all encouraging.

and 34 was last years time.
ok, that was so last years time -
i can beat that.

shoot, but this week,
a bit sick,
coughing and shniffling.
i don't think it's good..
and all my friends all have their reasons
why they can't,
boo!

ok, but i wanna,
i do wanna.
so i wake up,
do what i gotta
and didn't get lost

and there i was,
gonna do it.

then still doing it,
but chest is not so happy
breathing not so good
hafta walk a bit

but i wanna, i wanna
oh there's that couple
i can beat them?
i can pass them.

"YOU CAN DO IT"
(hay, who's that?)
guys call out
i love those guys
who are they?
water
clapping
so nice
whoever you are

at 2 miles
not so great
oh well but gonna finish

there's the finish line
that big clock -
and there's --- 36 mins!
uch uch uch!!
;-(

fine fine fine!!

i still wanna finish
oh well
just a little bit proud,
a bit ..
but mostly bummed
and breathing too hard
close to 37, uch
but i finished

so sluggish

but there's Mike over there
we started together
"so bummed, Mike
close to 37 mins."
:-(

"not possible"
says Mike.
he finished at 34
and he was after me
huh?

but the big clock?
i saw the 37?
not my time?
oh.
that *little thingie* on my sneaks
has my time?
found the posting
32 mins 54 secs -
hay, no way!

2 sec ago,
felt so ick
now, much better ;-)
that's nuts!

turns out
everyone knows
about those *sneaker thingies*
and now i know too ..,
until i forget

so,
from sluggish to leaping
so cool

happy for me?
i know you are
"annick, be happy for annick"
and i am
so cool.
