Toilets sometimes they get blocked,
And men too they can be knocked,
That is how life goes,
So stay on your toes,
Or some day you might be shocked.

Autumn is definitely here,
When the air is crisp and clear,
It's slippy when wet,
So do mind your step,
Or you will end up on your rear!!

Some marathon thoughts from me today:
Much infectious joy was on display,
The supporters were great,
And their signs were first rate,
To all volunteers I say fair play!

There was a chilly wind and some rain,
My Garmin stopped midway, what a pain!
"Naked Ran" the second half,
So no Strava fancy graph.
But the 4 hour mark is back again!

Dublin Marathon day is here,
I've donned my familiar gear.
Am hoping for sub four,
I have done that before,
But to my plan I must adhere!

Well I'm tempted to shout "Janey",
With the incoming storm "Amy",
But no need to shriek,
We'll just wait a week,
In fact it might just suit me!
#MarathonLimericks #StormAmy
Well I might head down to Fanore,
To a half I've done before,
I'll get a few thrills,
On some fine Clare hills,
Along the Atlantic sea shore.

Well I do have a pleasant tingle,
I'm off again next year to Dingle,
The entries went online,
All gone just after nine,
There with running friends I'll mingle!

Some runners they do fear the hill,
For their steady pace it can kill,
But Rob he's a bit odd,
He gives a friendly nod,
And loves the overtaking thrill!

Well I ain't no Harry Styles,
Though I put in many miles,
Some impressive stats,
So I'll just say congrats,
As odd limericks I compiles!

The fine Sanctuary Runner crew,
They run, jog and walk in Blue,
They like a road race,
All over the place,
And Friendship's the special glue.

I'm checking the weather apps,
And looking at the rain maps,
Well here's the rain chart,
For ten O'clock start,
There are some rainless gaps!

Of my big sister I am proud,
Fine writing skills she is endowed,
Her Dementia paperback,
A big punch it did pack
Amongst the #ChiswickBookFest crowd!
Very proud of my sister, Anthea Rowan, talking about her Dementia book "The Silent Tsunami" at #ChiswickBookFest tomorrow. Now in paperback!
Half an hour from the house to the gate,
Flying from Shannon is just great!
A break from running,
But not from punning!
But on Sunday a half does await!

Well I might not be very tall,
Some would say I am quite small,
But if I don't train,
Even in the rain,
I will certainly hit the wall!
#MarathonLimericks
We'll be heading to Charleville next week,
We might be looking quite chic,
With nice blue tops,
And well groomed mops,
But alas the old knees might creak!
