Friday Haikus: Look What the Whippets Drag'd In Edition

Here it is again, Friday! I had every intention of doing some posts this week, especially after a very successful Saturday of cheering for the women running for the Whippets in the Mini, but somehow the week slipped away from me. The women did a great job and so did the cheerers! This weekend it's the guys turn to run in the Portugal Day 5 Miler while the women cheer us. Since this is my first real race back I'll be interested to see how I do though I'm not expected a whole lot.

Enough about me, it's time for some Friday haikus!

Whippets Mini Cheer Squad
Tall women, what the--!
Those aren't ladies, too much hair
Must be men in drag


Rainy Day Motivation
Pouring rain outside
Solo I would stay indoors
Run with friends, get soaked


Decisions, Decisions
Red, yellow, green, blue--
Too many Gatorade types
I'll just drink water

Friday Haikus: Mini Edition

Somehow we've made it through another week. I don't know about you, but I always find that the first full week after a holiday seems to drag on forever. I've got a big weekend planned:

1) Tomorrow I'll be cheering on my female teammates at NYRR's Mini 10k. They'll return the favor at the Portugal 5 Miler next week. To keep things interesting, the men on our team made a friendly wager with the women about who'll have the better cheering. I'm not sure who the neutral arbiter will be though I'm not expecting a close contest.

2) After the Mini I'm going camping! I haven't been camping in ages so this should be fun. I just hope I can find a Chinese joint that will deliver to my tent.

Anway, enough about my weekend. Here's your Friday haiku fix.

Running in the Rain
Cold, wet, skies gray, run,
Summer changes perspective
This is heavenly



A Classic Race
Women running fast
No men to steal their thunder
The Mini 10K



A Running Hazard
Loose, flapping, each step
Comes closer to falling off
Good bye big toenail
