My Favorite Things (Read 133 times)

    Yeah, my mind tends to wander on recovery jogs.

     

    New pairs of Asics with gold and black laces

    Going on long runs and training for races

    Putting old race bibs in binders with rings

    These are a few of my favorite things

     

    Tempos and intervals, sore muscle rollers

    Watching that guy beat me pushing a stroller

    Suffering pain that a marathon brings

    These are a few of my favorite things

     

    Lining up next to those fast age group aces

    Hanging my medals in prominent places

    Soaking in sweat that the hot summer brings

    These are a few of my favorite things

     

    When the boss barks

    When the kids scream

    When I'm feeling sad

    I simply remember my favorite things

    And then I don't feeeeeeeeeeellllllll

    So bad

        P.S. I was in the musical in high school and each song has been forever seared into my memory

                  ... as I am about to ascend onto the great stage of this world, having been only a spectator until now, I advance masked.

                        But now I want to smack you; that melody is stuck in my head.

                        "Set out runnin', but I take my time."

                          I love it - singing along...

                          Marathons are habit-forming...

                          "I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength."
