disclaimer #1: i am well aware that i cannot sing, even though i was selected for an easter duet when i was 6 and a solo in the church play when i was 13. i attempted to doctor it as much as i could. please don't hold it against me.
disclaimer #2: i do not yet know how to upload to youtube without losing so much photo quality :(
in case you want to drown out my awful voice sing along:
right, right course turns right
i'm gonna lose my gu tonight
what's the dealio?
i love running so much
4am turn the radio up
time to rock and roll
morning running, makes me stunning
call me up if you are coming
don't be lazy
just get crazy
why so serious?
chorus:
i raise my 'ade 'cause i ran long
and ran a 5k
all my marathons, they will never be never be
anything but loud
making me a dirty running freak
won't you come on and come on and
raise your 'ade
just come on and come on and
raise your 'ade
run run love to run
green valley 10-mi was blazing fun
wish i wasn't nauseous
can't stop chasing the clock
i "ran" boston t'was more like a walk
then ran kentucky
three runs one night, burned some blubber
not enough though
still have fluff so
need to get serious
(chorus)
oh crap my gatorade's empty...
that sucks.
so if you're too school for cool
and you run like a fool
you should choose to let it go
'cause i always, i just always
run long on my own
so raise your
so raise your 'ade if you ran long
or ran a 5k
all my running nerds, we will never be never be
anything but loud
and nitty gritty dirty running freaks
won't you come on and come on and
raise your 'ade
just come on and come on and
raise your 'ade
special thanks to my blogging buddies for participating; i hope i didn't let you down.

ReplyDeleteYou've set yourself up for some pretty high expectations from Jill, I hope you can handle the pressure.
Hello from Orlando!
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it, love it! Found you via One Little Tri Girl. Seems we share some blogging buddies ~ The Redhead taught me about running when I first got started, One Little Tri Girl is my sweet, sweet friend, ajh and I can swap 'senior moments' - though she kicks my butt, and of course, The Ms. Jill in Colorado. I'm sure I missed someone. Just want to make sure there's a seat for me at the Grammys. :) :) :) ~ with all our buddies. GREAT JOB!
So much fun!
OMG! This is uh-ma-zing! Loves it!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, LOVE that. Seriously. That totally made my day and has made me excited for my upcoming races (and Christmas, LOL).
ReplyDeleteAmy Lauren
