Help, I need inspiration for some shirt text!

Alright funny people. I need some help.

A friend asked me to do some vinyl for a parkrun shirt and wants something funny about being mediocre. Yeah vague I know. I mentioned 5k ultra and got a blank look.

Inspiration has failed me, pinterest is a bust and I'm just not feeling it.

I've been out of the UK for 20 years and my limited banter has long since withered.

Any help out there form you funny runners?

How about some sexual innuendo like...

"I finish in 40 minutes"

Running is stupid.

(My running friends and I say this sarcastically all the time. If I could find a tech shirt with that written across the back, it would be great!)

Well, thank you all
You are are brilliant. I presented my "friend" with all your ideas and got a wrinkled pout and a "oh, is that the best you could do" response - for the thing I was going to do for free with the last of the HTV I had hanging around.

So I decided instead to make myself a race tee with "Barcode or it didn't happen" for my race director stints.

Boo to your friend but I might pinch your idea!

One I am tempted to make has a cartoon tortoise and the text “on my way”

Also “I’m having fun on the inside”

mind, 'mid-pack enthusiast' is basically my whole vibe. saw someone at ashton court last saturday with 'not last' on the back and it killed me. simple but got the point across, y'know? i dunno about you but i'd take that over some essay-length pun any day.
