Music Monday: Counting Stars

by // // Comments off

Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep
Dreaming about the PR that could be
But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been training hard,
Said, no more counting miles
We’ll be counting stars, yeah we’ll be counting stars

I’m into week three of my Asics-Kastor 6-Weeks to Train Marathon Plan.  I’ve been really good about sticking to the plan and waking up in the wee early morning pitch black dark hours to fit in my miles.  Yeah, I’ve been counting a lot of stars during those miles.   I’m not going to lie.  It’s tough but like OneRepublic says, “everything that kills me makes feel alive.”

This week means even more miles on my feet as I draw closer to the A1A Marathon.  I‘m participating in the inaugural Celebration Half Marathon on Sunday and according to my running plan, I need to run five miles more to hit 18 miles that day.  Looks like I’ll need to run 5 more miles after I cross the finish line.

All the sweat that drowns me makes me wanna fly.

    Denise, when you signed in the link that is linked to your name does not work. It’s only coming up as this page cannot be displayed. Let me check with Linky Tools and see what link is coming up.

    Denise, I tried everything I put the exact link above even in linky followers, and still comes up “This page cannot be displayed”. I guess that’s why you don’t have that many comments this week, and last. That’s when it started. If you’ll look back I believe I mentioned it to you. Hope you can fix it. Now your video… oh WOW! I’m luvin’ this one! WOW LADY GET DOWN! You’re definitely ROCKIN THE HOUSE THIS WEEK! Thanks for introducing this one I really like this one… I’m rockin’ here can’t type no more I gotta get up and dance! Have a great week and good luck with that link.

    You’re so dedicated to the run. I admire your determination and tenacity. I’d be such a big scaredy Cathy to go running in the dark, aren’t you the least bit afraid? I hope you don’t go alone. I love this song by One Republic. Now, it’s gonna be stuck in my head all day, but that’s okay coz it’s a great one to keep me motivated. Best of luck to you, as you continue your training for your upcoming competition. You really rock, girl!
