First Marathon!

Vol. 1  Chap. 370


    First Marathon!

Started When Ol' Phidippides
Laced His Nikes, Ran One of These
Marathons Long Before Christ's Birth!
He Ran Well, Til He Kissed the Earth!


Mom Started Slow, In Our Driveway!
Then 'Round the Block One Summer's Day!
Soon She Tackled Her First 5K!
I 'member, Like T'was Yesterday!


Early 5Ks Gave Way to Tens!
Mom Ran Her Butt Off!   For Real Friends!
Dozen Halfs Down, I Tell Bella,
"Blame That Phidippides Fella!"


Mom Caught Ol' Phid's Running Fever!
My Guess, It'll Never Leave Her!
Anywhere in San Diego!
Oceans, Canyons, You Go Mom!   Go!


A Challenge?   Mom Can Run Through It!
Never Tell Mom She Can't Do It!
With Ev'ry Step, She Shows Each Girl,
The Meek Won't Inherit Her World!

Congratulations on Finishing the L.A. Marathon!

Your Grampa Sure Loves Y'All!
