Good Luck at the Mistletoe Half Marathon!

Good luck to the Half Marathon Training Program at the Mistletoe Race!
December 2009

Twas the week of the race
When all through the town
The runners were anxious
With threats of snow on the ground.

They had trained through the fall
In rain, wind and sun
But their southern location
Left one condition un-run.

And weather-dot-com
Predicted something not nice –
A potential for snow
And even some ice.

But the runners decided
That conditions won’t change things –
They’ve taken care of the details
So what’er race morning brings

They will run and they’ll prance
As they journey up that long hill –
They’ll cruise through Buena Vista
On to Reynolda Vill

Through Wake Forest’s Campus
Past Wait Chapel in a blink,
And up one last hill –
Then before they can think
They will be on the home stretch
Through Graylyn Estate
And at the Mistletoe Finish
Family and Friends will await

To say Congrats Half Marathoner
For all that you’ve done!
You’ve trained hard and run long
Now it is time to have fun!

So in fond remembrance
Of our run in Bethania
And in recognition
Of our coaches who’ve trained’ya
I love you all tons
Even you crazy Buckeyes
Cuz in your Fleet Feet apparel
You’re all well disguised!

Thank you for spending
12 weeks of fun
Hanging with us at Fleet Feet
And learning to run!

I will be cheering you on
This Saturday morn
I'm proud of you already –
A new crew of half marathoners are born!
