Armchair Jock

I ran the 10K marathon.
At once I knew I’d chosen wrong.
My heart and lungs on fire,
I thought I might expire.
Next time I’ll safely watch from home.

I can’t imagine choosing a 10K. Not in me!

Zero 'Ks' in me. I was never much of a runner...I do like other sports. However. words are my fun. :)

LOL I'm with you there...no running/jogging for me! Did you see the vid of the jogger who got batted by a bear who just happened to want to cross the road at the same time as she?
