On running and on life.....

On occasion we need to make a second effort - and a third effort, and a fourth effort, and as many degrees of effort as may be required to accomplish what we strive to achieve.

It rained through the night and was raining this morning when we woke up.  I assumed I would be running in the rain today.  My daughter called from school and said she had forgot her glasses so I decided to get the runnin' gear on and run them up to her.

It was beautiful while I was out and looking even more beautiful now.  I love the day after a good rain!  Rain!  Not snow!  At this time of year rain is more than welcome, but I hope we are finally done with snow....we'll see.

The main things I had to worry about today were a few puddles and lots of worms in the road.  I really didn't want to hit a worm and go sliding into the splits! 

My other problem of the day was a sad old CHRISTMAS song going over and over in my head!  I had to do something to get it out so I started singing, "My mother said not to put beans in my ears."  Now does anyone have a remedy for getting that song out of my head?!  One thing I like about that song while running is that it is in 3/4 time.  So I don't over emphasize one foot all the time.   The down beat changes back and forth to each foot.  OK, I'm sounding kind of strange now, and I am just not a strange person (ha ha) so I best be done for now. 

If you have never heard of Beans in your ears, go to this you tube to find out how to get it stuck in your head too!  : )

Bean In My Ears is a classic tune that reminds of playing old 45's (which included that song) on the "Hi-Fi" growing up. I can't imagine any Christmas song being any worse than having "Beans" stuck in your head. Maybe you could think about "My Sharona" :)

I knew you were going to say My Sharona! That is the absolute worse song to get stuck in heads! Grrrrr!

Oh there are plenty of others....I'm thinking of all the Broadway tunes now..."Master of the House", about anything from Joseph the the Amazing..... Maybe if I put a ton of these songs in your head they'll cancel each other out.

at karaoke a few weeks ago, one of my buddies sang "my sharona." he was absolutely hilarious.
