I go by Heidi, but you can call me Mama Kitty if you want...

Post One: Raleigh Relays - The 5K

So now it's my turn. I will apologize in advance for not being as charismatic as "fresh meat" aka "I like to undo and retie my shoelaces 10 million times before every run" Bolas, however I do think I will be a little more poetic.

Unfortunately, my original idea for a poem was destroyed after Furman Elite ran so damn good on Friday night. I had these ridiculously clever rhymes lined up, like: "What do I say about the 5k? / I say no way, jose!" and "The only one who ran slower than me / Was FE's most eligible bachelor, Mr Cory." And what's worse is that I may even go as far as saying that I actually enjoyed the race. 

Anyway, disappointment aside, I've done my best to put together a poem that reveals the true unfolding of Friday night's races. I call it, "5000 meters, 5000 dreams"

Under the lights at NC State,
It came time to approach the line
Bush came up still holding her gloves?
I came with an open mind

After the gun the race was a mess,
But we both soon found our place
Bush was up front leading the pack,
I became part of the chase

I started by clocking off 78's
And for most of it, felt fine
But my favorite part of this 5k
Was staring at Nicole's behind ;)

We ended up in second and third,
And both under 16.10
The 5k was great, I'll have to admit
I might even do it again

Next up were some good looking men,
Jeff, Cory, and some fresh meat
The rest of the athletes in the race
Would be no match for Furman Elite

Lee Lee Lemon took on the lead,
And became a speedy rabbit
Cory wore a shirt under his singlet
Lets hope he won't make this a habit

The men finished a sweep: 1,2,3 
Never afraid to keep fighting
The last lap left them with some sore legs,
While coach had sore cheeks from smiling :)

I hope you all enjoyed my post. I don't have any ideas yet for my next one, but like coach always says, "Ideas are like kittens. First you get a couple and learn how to handle them, and before you know it you have a dozen!"

Until next time ---
