I love running. Even when I hate it, I kind of love it.
I think it’s best summed up in song.
She got both feet on the ground
And she’s burning it down
This girl is on fire*
If you’re lost and alone
Or you’re sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on**
Giving up’s not an option, gotta get it in
Stronger than ever, can’t mow me down
A hundred mile feelin’, gonna miss your ground
Straight game face, it’s game day
See me running through the crowd full of melee***
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill you makes you fighter
Footsteps even lighter****
Want to join me? My friend and amazing health coach has just launched the Happy 5K, with money raised going toward the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
You have until April 12th to get to 3.1 miles, however you want to. Walk. Run. Crawl. Skip. Just get it in. Awesome prizes, awesome people. I’m in — are you?

About Katy
Look at you! Way to go Katy! There is nothing like a solid week of running week of running to make you feel invincible!
Music definitely keeps me running when it gets hard, though this week I was also reminded of the power of a simple mantra. Love the idea of the Happy 5k!
love love love “carry on”. has definitely gotten me through a few rough runs!
I have been ADDICTED to that song while running lately.
I love that song – such a good one while runninng too! That Happy 5K looks awesome, but I can’t get the link to work???
Huh…weird!
Try this one: http://rememberhealthy.com/happy5k. The one I posted above had a referral tracker so maybe it was broken. And if you still have trouble, let me know so I can let the coaches know!
You’re back with a vengeance girl! I can’t wait to see you at FLBlogCon this year!…and I made a media kit….it’s rocked my world…i thank you
I can’t wait to see YOU! And send me your kit so I can add it to the gallery
I’m itching to go running so bad. I just need all this ice and snow to melt and I’ll be running my booty off. Having a few great songs to run to just makes me so much more pumped up.
LOVE running! And the music makes it even more fun.
My latest fave: Flo Rida Low. It gives me a little pep to my step. Luckily, it’s 5am and there’s no one out in my ‘hood to witness it.
Love this! It put a big smile on my face.
