Sarah’s Marathon 

By Sis Unsworth 

Sara often did recall, the Marathon she’d run

The first they held in London in 1981

Had she run from Blackheath, to Constitution Hill?

She must confess the memory, still gave her quite a thrill.

The 29^th of March, began the great tradition,

Where many like her, would complete a life’s ambition.

Although the years have quickly passed, it often brings a smile,

She even joined a running club, and stayed there for a while.

But time brought on changes, from what she’d done before

With age something you loved, can turn into a chore.

So Sarah moved her goalposts in, and joined a walking club,

They all meet up on Saturdays, and walk down to the Pub.
