Uncle Larry, Aunt Dawn, and Ian too,
Ran a holiday 5K right through.
From ten to noon, the race was on,
They pushed ahead from dusk till dawn.
In one hour and seventeen minutes’ time,
They crossed the finish—feeling fine!
I took some photos, quite a lot,
So take a look at what I got!
Aunt Dawn and Ian, off they sped,
With many runners charging ahead.
Uncle Larry, Ian, Aunt Dawn in line,
Smiling bright—they look just fine.
Two miles left, still going strong,
Ian and Dawn kept moving along.
Three in hats of Christmas cheer
With Ian and Dawn so full of cheer.
Uncle Larry and Ian side by side
Running forward with steady stride.
Just Ian now, a solo view,
Still pushing on like champs all do.
Ian and Dawn once more appear,
Determined faces, full of cheer.
A Santa-clad man joined the scene,
With Ian smiling—bright and keen.
An eagle… maybe? Hard to say,
But something flew not far away!
Geese were floating, calm and slow,
Drifting gently down below.
Ian and Dawn near the end,
With strength and spirit left to spend.
Almost there—the finish line!
Ian’s doing great, feeling fine!
After the race, a treat so sweet,
Dessert was served—a perfect treat!
Dee had made it with such care,
And Ian loved each bite to share.
The next race? That’s far away,
Too cold for me to run today.
Twenty to thirty—chilly air,
I’d rather wait for warmth out there.
Fifty degrees would feel just right,
A better time to run with might.
We’ll see when I decide to go—
For now, I’ll skip the winter snow!
