Sing A Song

Good morning.

My favorite radio station on my XM Satalite radio is the 70's channel. I love so many songs from the 70's. As I drove this morning I heard a song that really hit home. It was a song by the Carpenters named, Sing. I loved the words:

"Sing, sing a song, make it simple to last the whole day long. Don't worry if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing, sing a song."

What a nice way to go through the day and life itself. Sing your own song, make it last the whole day long. "Sing of good things, not bad." "Sing of happy not sad."

Put a smile on your face. No, I am not Mr. Rogers. It's taper madness.

Yesterday's 8 miler went without a hitch. I just enjoyed running slowly and smoothly. A real pleasure. Today is an off day from running. I am tempted to go for a bike ride along the Lake but not sure if I should. Tomorrow will be 6 at marathon pace and Sunday 12. But, I may just make Sunday a 1/2 marathon. What's one more mile?

" Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own, sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push through the obstruction."

* It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” - Anais Nin
