Lyrical Blog "Running is beautiful"

Happy New Year everyone,

well this week was very exciting as I did my first double run day (2 separate runs in a day) and had my first proper runners health scare.....

Yes I had a constant pain in the one place no runner wants to feel any pain-The Knee!!!
I got up on Friday morning at 0400 as I couldn't sleep and when walking down the stairs my knees nearly gave way but they didn't and maybe I am exaggerating but it did hurt like hell and scared me. As a runner you know your knees are getting a beating but you do everything you can do to prevent it but when you do get a pain you get worried..... Well after taking regular nurofen, taking my kids swimming and fixing the fence and a day of rest my knees got better and I managed to do a short run on Saturday. Life is beautiful:-)

Running is brilliant

My life is brilliant.
My runs are pure.
I saw a challenge.
Of that I'm sure.
It smiles at me on the Ridgeway.
Its been done by another man.
But I won't lose no sleep,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your profile on my google map,
And I don't know how to do you,
'Cause I've never run you.

Yeahbaby concert caught my eye,
As everyone walked on by.
@piertown saw  my tweets for help,

training aspiration running high,

And I don't know how to do it,
But I'm following his advice till the end.....

Ok enough of that lyric writing feel free to comment if you know the song and artist....
