2012, maybe?

hot off the presses!

let dj ctk's latest beat carry your dancing running feet into the new year and enjoy this year's "year in review".

[dedicated to b.o.b, as this was her favorite hit of 2012]

now it's the end of the year

somebody get me a beer

i have no reason to cheer

my mileage is so low

i tried elimination

m&m's, my temptation

it was a big frustration

lost all my cardio

your posts were crowin'

long runs, pr's growin'

meanwhile i'm plateauin'

so i tried eating paleo

hey, i don't know you

and this is crazy,

but here's my number,

so track me, maybe?

i ran some 5k's

as an "ali"

and as a diva

brought home a trophy

hey, i went a year,

and it was crazy,

without m&m's,

i survived, maybe?

and all the other boys,

try to chase me,

in my bikini,

some sunscreen, maybe?

i went on meds for my skin

went for a ride on my schwinn

dyed wedding dress in a tin

made my own pizza dough

running may have felt betrayed

when i drank all the kool-aid

i didn't know i'd be swayed

by other cardio

your posts were crowin'

long runs, pr's growin'

meanwhile i'm plateauin'

so i tried eating paleo

hey, now i crossfit

and this is crazy,

i'll double under

please no more burpees

still hard to run fast,

like a grand prix

but i do pullups

in a big tree

here's to the new year,

and lots of running,

a fall marathon

new pr, maybe?

and all my other goals,

i'll chase after,

achieve a muscle up,

and six-pack, maybe?

relay with ragnar

once again, i'll start with my disclaimer that i still cannot sing. "raise your 'ade" was well received (or you are all great at lying), so i figure why not do another. i actually made the lyrics up two months ago, but i was slack just couldn't get studio time until recently.

morgan, if you remember the 1900 times i asked if it's pronounced rag-nar, or rag-ner, now you know why.

marie, i'm sorry in advance.

sing along:

hot and dangerous

if you're a little nuts then run with us

'cause we make the gators fall in love

when we got our spandex on and up

and yes of course we does

we runnin' these streets like US1

and no you don't wanna mess with us

relaying makes us breath-less

got bodyglide on my thighs

reflective stripping down my side

looking sick and safety-fied

so let's go-o-o,

let's go!

tonight we're running har-har-har-har-har-hard

like US1 is our-our-ah-ah-ah ours

we're tearing it apar-par-par-pa-pa part

you know we're superstars

relay with ragnar

we're running like we're dumb-dum-duh-duh-duh dumb

our legs are going numb-num-nuh-nuh-nuh numb

we'll be forever young-yun-y-y-y young

you know we're superstars

relay with ragnar

garmin turn it up

it's about damn time to pick it up

the miami-to-keys experience

is makin' my legs delirious

i'm just talkin' true

i'm tellin' you 'bout the runs we do

we're selling our souls

sleepin' in vans

dressin' it down

runnin' all night

hard

got bodyglide on my thighs

reflective stripping down my side

looking sick and safety-fied

so let's go-o-o,

let's go!

tonight we're going hard-hard-hard-ha-ha-hard

just like the world is our-our-our-ah-ah-ours

we're tearing it apar-par-par-pa-pa-part

you know we're superstars

relay with ragnar

we're running like we're dumb-dumb-duh-duh-duh-dumb

our legs have long been numb-numb-nuh-nuh-nuh-numb

we'll be forever young-young-yuh-y-y-young

you know we're superstars

relay with ragnar

gould's park turn it up

homestead turn it up

coral shores turn it up

key west turn it up

today we're running hard-har-har-h-h-hard

just like the keys are our-our-our-ah-ah-ours

we're tearing it apar-par-par-p-p-part

you know we're superstars

relay with ragnar

we're running like we're dumb-dumb-duh-duh-duh-dumb

our body's are now numb-numb-nuh-nuh-nuh-numb

we'll be forever young-young-yuh-y-y-young

you know we're superstars

raise your 'ade

jillian laid out a challenge for this week's mbe to do a 2010 wrap-up in poem form and left the definition of "poem" wide open. since my original rap was a flop (only 27 views on youtube? not the viral takeoff i was expecting) i've taken a slightly different route this time.

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

dizzy summer; 5k bummer

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

disclaimer #3: they are all awesome and should not be penalized for associating themselves with my grammy-winning vocals. in case you didn't get it, they were all "raising" their {beverage of choice}.
