The Bakersfield Marathon… One More Time!

An excuse to run a race. An early start. A bit of rain while we waited. A slog at the end.

Not much of a poem, but there ya go.

How it ended:

How it rendered: “Hey, chatGPT: take this image and make it a CGI animated style, like Inside Out or Toy Story. Also have the people over my right shoulder making spaghetti.”
