runnin' wisdom....(care of ipod)

do i enjoy working out - those that know me pretty well would probably get this one wrong - no. i have always loved sports and competition but i hate working out. i'm smart enough to know it's a necessary evil to keeping in shape and being healthy and all that good stuff....but i don't enjoy going out in the 27 degree weather for a 2 mile run - at least physically.

mentally though - i love it. nothing allows me to hammer through my thoughts like a 15 minute run around the block....especially now with my ipod shuffle. as i was finishing off my 2nd mile this afternoon, my ipod shuffled its way to a g.b. leighton song called 'one foot over'.

that is my anthem these days.....(and this blog seems to be written more by azlyrics than me at some points, but hey, that's ok)

One Foot Over -- gb leighton

Sally, Sue, Charlie and Billy too,
They all know where they’re going.
They’ve got the paper from the U of Wherever,
Up on the wall where it’s showin’

Me, I’m taking the longer less traveled
They say I could make it someday
I just don’t know what I should look for, but
Sometimes it’s funnier that way

Chorus

You Just Go
One foot over the next one, baby
‘til you reach your design
One foot over the next one, baby
Keep on walking that line

Gather round, listen up people
To the story I’m tellin’
I met a man on the highway to nowhere
Sold me all he was sellin’

Wrap it up Joe, I think I’ll take it
I’m gonna leave this old life behind
I’m searchin’ for my only freedom
I guess you’d call peace of mind

Chorus

I’ve been searchin’, looking for
Something I can show
Maybe what I hold is special
To someone, I don’t know

Turn around, stop and listen
Take a moment today
Just think about all you’ve been blessed with,
Cause Life is funny that way

Chorus

great stuff.....and maybe what i hold is special to someone i don't know. and the running parallel is great - just go one foot over the next one till you reach your design - all the while thinking about all you've been blessed with - cause life is pretty damn funny that way.

gotta love the mental side of the run - physical is a pretty good side benefit too...

so after hitting that song on the run - i'm ready to face another week....whatever crazyness it brings.
