I saw this tweet from @UKRunChat and it made me wonder what my 7 running dwarves would be. I like to think I’m a happy, bouncy runner who bounds across the fields full of unlimited joy. But I’m not. I like running. In fact I REALLY like running. But I’m under no illusions. It’s not glamorous – well not for me anyway (Have you SEEN my race pics? I look like a bulldog eating wasps in the throes of a glorious sprint finish) so I came up with this list:
My seven Running Dwarves:
Grumpy, Farty, (with alter ego of 'imminent bowel movement'), Manic, Smiley, Sweary, Sweaty, Tiredy.
The Wicked Witch would probably be named Forgotten-Loo Roll-on-Long-Run. Or possibly Running-Too-Fast-in-First-Few-Miles-of-Marathon.
Sweary was always my favourite dwarf :)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly makes reading Snow White to the girls more interesting ...
DeleteWhat about Hoppy, Muddy, Limpy and Plod lol :)
ReplyDeleteI LIKE these! :) But can't help noticing 3 of your dwarves seem to have escaped ...

Run Sleepy

(They all hate that last guy, too happy for his own good. One of the others is gonna shank him anyday now.)
BRILLIANT! Love these! I can picture all of these dwarves too! :)
