I was dragging my butt, I was thinking to myself.....it's grey out....it's cold out....it's a hard workout....and of course, I don't want to!!!
I had to do hills tonight. 3 long sets of hills of twenty minutes. And I didn't want to!
By the end of it, on my 3rd set, I felt like Superwoman. I kept climbing up as the sun was setting, the view kept getting better and better as I was flying...up...up...UP!! I was having so much fun I ended up running further, just so I could catch the last sunshine rays of the day.
When I got to the top the sun was blinding and just about to dip behind the mountains. Blinded by the Light came on the IPod, I was singing at full volume and giggling simultaeously and I laughed allowed because I was having way too much fun!!!
Climbing....CLIMBING.....
Up...Up...UP!!!
That's where I live!
Last Sun
Blinded By the Light!
Revved up like a Deuce
Another Runner in the Night.....!!
Blinded By the Light
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
With the stereo pleasin' and sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
Oh she was...Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I got what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong, play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather charts to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-birdy came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Oh she was...Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light -
She got down but she never got tired She's gonna make it through the night She's gonna make it through the night
But mama, that's where the fun is But mama, that's where the fun is.
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun, but mama, that's where the fun is!
Some brimstone baritone Andy Sack from rolling stone preacher from the east
Says "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone,reminding him of romance The calliope crashed to the ground
Cos she was...Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
OMG! That is just so beautiful and inspiring!!!
ReplyDeleteHey, I live right near SF - ping me and lets exhange emails...maybe we can meet up while you're down here!
Oh gorgeous, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteSo, I just woke up from sleeping off the night shift at work. I'm sippin' coffee, reading your blog, looking at the snowstorm outside, and thinking about the hill workout (6 x 5 min hard effort, equal recoveries, shorter but faster than your workout) I have to do shortly. The snowstorm makes the idea highly unappealing (Pieces of snow in my face, again?), but your blog has now motivated me. Thanks for that!

PS. Nice G-bear pics. I like the bear slang.
My husband Keith took them photos of the G-Bear from the car last year. He was driving to Jasper early one spring morning and saw B-Bears, G-Bears, a moose and (very rare) a woodland caribou!
ReplyDeleteNow go out and run!

Thanks CG!! That is a very generous offer! I'd love to meet up. However, I am so technologically-challenged, that I have no idea what a "ping" is! Maybe some techno-savvy friends can help me and my blog get more current??

Very nice... I wish I could think of something deeper, more sophisticated, but I'm just me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the images and wonderful words.
