Today I ran a 5K race
With dribbling rain upon my face.
I paid thirty dollars to
Earn a free donut to share with you.
Now I’m soggy, tired, and sore
And I weigh at least a donut more,
But I see a smile in your eyes
And that is why I exercise.

But You Get A Cool T-Shirt! (Or Why I Stopped Worrying And Ran A 5K)
Somehow we went from running
To avoid becoming a meal
To paying $50 to run
To express the way we feel.

The Gingerbread’s Regrets
I told them to run, run, run.
In fact, I mercilessly taunted.
Alas the final result
Was nothing like what I wanted.
I did not fully consider
When all was said and done
The degree of just how slowly
We cookie-men can run.

In The Long Run
I broke my all time record
In the 100 meter dash.
I was a wild jungle cat,
And faster than the flash,
And yet I came in second place
‘Cause I misunderstood the rules.
That’s why I ran a 5K
In a minute thirty-two.
