Story

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS!

Kimberly's Cheesy 'Five-time-lucky' Marathon Poem

It’s me! I’m back, the running fool

It’s my fifth marathon – so I’m feeling cool.

No first-timer nerves, or feelings of fear

Just doing it now to tone up my rear!

First time was a challenge – I was petrified!

But I did the mileage and was filled with pride.

Second time I had confidence and my bright pink vest

Achieved 3 hours 40 – a personal best!

Third time was awful – injury at mile 10

Limped the rest, moaning ‘never again…’

But alas I’m addicted – always like a good run

But was slow as molasses in last April’s hot sun

This is it: My very last attempt (??!)

I’m aiming for 3hr45 – or will be full of contempt

And now…

My ankle hurts, and I’m bored of oatmeal

So cheer me on, and do me a deal:

I do the training and race on the day

You back me by donating to Deafblind UK!
