The Long Run- in which I kept my legs and wits about me

Image
  Last week's long run I could live off that  It was everything and more I kept my legs and my wits about me And even managed a few cool pics along the way Half way through- I realized I needed a 'break'    This served well for that Brain decompressed Bonk averted Then saw this next bit And chuckled  (I wish the picture came out better) It says: "Don't liter" hmmmmmm Spellcheck much? I think they meant to spray paint "litter" #fail   In the football team's defense,  I did post a comment in January under one of Dave's posts on Facebook  I was proud to respond with A simple witty comment that simply said  "Carma"   2 hours later,  This is me Realizing  That my oh so witty remark was terribly spelled wrong I thought all day whether to go back and re-comment  "Haha I meant-- karma silly auto correct!"
