Running Man Hits the Trail

Sturgis, South Dakota is known

 for the big  motorcycle rally that happens every year.

 But instead  

This weekend 200 runners gathered in Sturgis

 to run The Black Hills 100 or 50 mile ultramarathon. 

 Guess who was there?  

Running Man was one 

Of those wild and crazy runner.

 His challenge: 50 miles.

 Running Man was on his own with no crew

 Did he worry, goodness no.

 He crossed multiple streams, getting his shoes wet,

 Did he worry, goodness no. 

 He climbed up and down those black hills and mountains.

 Did Running Man worry, goodness no.

 Was he the first one over the finish line? 

 No worries. 

  He was the first one to finish in the old geezer age group! 

 13hours, 20 minutes

  Did he stop because he was hot, tired, lost the trail or stiff?

 Goodness no.

 His will power, determination, and dedication 

and His hours of training brought him success.

 So no matter what came along,

he kept moving

and it was a good day.

 I'm proud of you, Running Man. *
