…you said you’d do WHAT?….

This year I'm doing something new
I'm going to try and learn to run
I know it'll be hard
Possibly impossible
But despite all that I hope it'll be fun

"I'm going to follow couch to 5k"
You should have seen Mike's face
He didn't know whether
To laugh or cry
Then he challenged me to a race

Today when telling a good friend
"You said you’d do WHAT?" they laughed
They think I'm mad
Perhaps I am
But I might learn to like the craft

Xxxxxx

Linked up at Julia's place for the 100 word challenge for grown ups, watch this space for poetry updates.

Good luck with the running - and let us all know how you get on.

Nice one. Good luck - for some, running is a joy.
Like your approach to the prompt (and the new year) :)

Don't listen to them. Follow your dreams!
