Running is a big question mark that’s there each and every day. It asks you, ‘Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?' - Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian

New favorite running song

Anthem by Superchick

Here's to the ones who don't give up
Here's to the ones who don't give up
Here's to the ones who don't give up
This is your anthem
Get your hands up

We are fire inside
We are lipstick and cleats
We are not going home and
We are playing for keeps
We are girls with skinned knees
We are concrete and grace
We are not what you think
Can't keep us in our place

Chorus:
Here's to the girls on their boards with bruises and scars
Here's to the girls whose fingers bleed from playing guitar
Here's to anyone who never quit when things got hard
You'll never let them say you'll never get that far
You'll never get that far
Never get that far

We are a fire inside
We are an army asleep
We are a people awaking to follow their dreams
We don't have time for your games
We have our own goals to score
There are trophies to win
Instead of being one of yours

Chorus

Here's to the ones who don't give up
Here's to the ones who don't give up
Here's to the ones who don't give up
This is your anthem

Chorus

That song is all about inspiration and a 'can-do' attitude. Somehow I don't think Bobby Vinton is going to motivate me to a 10 m/m! Grrrrrrrrrrrrlpower!

Okay, if I make you a running tape with the polka version of She's too fat for me' over and over on it, will you start running again? :-)

It did make me laugh out loud. I think my favorite lines are:
'When I'm dancing with my Jum-Jum-Jumbo'
and
'By herself she's a group Could she possibly Sit upon my knee?
No! no! no!'

What I want to know is if Jen knew the words by heart or if she had to look them up to post them!
