A Limerick for the Lame

IN NOVEMBER I DID MY LAST RUN
ALTHOUGH IT WAS ALWAYS SUCH FUN
I GAVE IN TO SOME STRESS
AND SETTLED FOR LESS
AS A RESULT I AM WEIGHING A TON

I’M SURE I COULD FIND AN EXCUSE
THAT WOULD SURELY SOUND RATHER OBTUSE
SO I’LL GET IT IN GEAR
AND WORK OFF MY REAR
SO I’LL HAVE A SMALLER CABOOSE

I FEAR THAT I’M STARTING ANEW
BUT THIS COMEBACK IS LONG OVERDUE
I’LL LACE UP MY SNEAKERS
EVEN THOUGH I’M MUCH WEAKER
AND FIND A GOOD GOAL TO PURSUE.

I NEED YOU DEAR BLOGGITY FRIENDS
TO STOP ME FROM MY BUTT-DRAGGING TRENDS
TO GET ME UP AND MOVING
AND MY RUNNING IMPROVING
SO THAT’S WHERE MY LIMERICK ENDS.

Yay - you're back! Don't feel too bad about your break...it is hard to keep at it through the winter. This is the first time I have managed to do it. It will be hard at first, but it should come back easier than it was the first time around.
