Part 1
ReplyDeleteSince that isn't an atomic bomb going off, you're going to have a great day. If it is a bomb, your day will be very short, with no pain. So there's no downside. Get on with it!
Part 1
ReplyDeleteWhat are you waiting for sleepy-head? Get on with it!
Part 1
ReplyDeleteThe pros are in the water already. So get that wetsuit on and hustle to the beach!
Part 1
ReplyDeleteSo what if you haven't had coffee? You don't really need it.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteAnything can happen today. It might not be "your" day, but you'll never know unless you get out there and make it happen.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteIf you get started now, you won't have to weave through the people who haven't woken up yet.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteThere might be a predator just over that horizon, waiting for the sun to light up some sleeping breakfast.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteIf you're looking at this and thinking about everything you did today with satisfaction, then life is good. If you know you could have done something better, you're still learning. If you're wondering where the day went you need to get your ass in gear sooner.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteIt's a new day, bright with possibilities. Now get up and run faster than the predator that wants you for breakfast. Some predators go on 2 legs.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteNobody but you has ever seen a sunrise quite like this. That doesn't make you special, it makes the sunrise special. Get over it.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteYou're going to need sunglasses very soon. And sunscreen. Drink lots of water.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteEmail will wait. Enjoy the sunrise.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteWhaddya need coffee for? Take another look. No really, take another look.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteToday will be a day unlike any you've ever had. Or it could be, if only you'd kick yourself out of your rut and see what's important.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteThat sun coming up that's brightening up the day? It's a candle compared to what your mind can do.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteIt's clear you didn't die in your sleep. So far so good.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteYou have just enough time to shag the one you're with with. But hurry, the tent will be getting really warm, really soon.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteWith any luck at all you are not staked out in the desert naked. So the sunrise is a good thing.
Part 1
ReplyDeleteSo what's it gonna be?
Ok, that's enough of that. Part 2 looks complicated. What were the instructions again?
ReplyDeleteWow, I hope Keith doesn't live in South Africa. That'll cost me.
ReplyDeleteOh Keith, Keith, Keith, it's about quality not quantity (Okay maybe quantity helps too.) Here is my best shot:
ReplyDeletePart 1,
"Q it's 4:30 in the morning and freakin cold outside! Go back to BED!"
One of my favorite running slogans by others is : It's You vs. You
ReplyDeleteMy other favorite running slogan is "Who Fartlekd?"
ReplyDelete(Okay it's 10:20 at night and past my bedtime, I'm scared to discover what I've been writing. Better head over to FB where I'm safe...hee hee. Gnight."
"Slow and steady will with the race, except in a real race."
ReplyDeletePart 1: And then you hear it. That whisper. The one that says, "Go! Chase the light!"
ReplyDeleteI follow you.
ReplyDeleteSlogan? It's not a runner's one. It's yoda. "There is no try. Only do."
ReplyDeleteBeastie Boys. I mean, seriously. There is no contest there.
ReplyDeletePearl Jam. No contest, sorry Kate.
ReplyDeleteFollow both you and CK
ReplyDeleteMy slogan is my mantra: If it was easy, everyone would do it.
ReplyDeleteSooner or later, those who win, are those who think they can.
ReplyDeletePart 1:
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day, you'll never regret a run, but you will regret it if you don't run
Part 1:
ReplyDelete"The best part of waking up... is going for a run"
Part 1:
ReplyDelete"Get up and go. You know you'll feel better if you do"
Part 1:
ReplyDelete"Don't just sit there and enjoy the sunrise - get OUT THERE and enjoy it"
Part 1:
ReplyDeleteThe best compliment to a sunrise is fresh air and moving muscles"
Following you, and BQorDie.
ReplyDeleteAlso Keith is a showoff, and is obviously not training enough :P
Forget the FOLGERS! The BEST PART OF WAKING UP is a GOIN 4 a RUN!
ReplyDeletePart 2:
ReplyDeleteBeastie Boys for running
Pearl Jam for driving around the city
Kenny Chesney for drinking on the beach
What? I'm supposed to actually CHOOSE?
Sunrise. Sunset. Swiftly go the miles. One foot following another...
ReplyDelete(you have to know Fiddler on the roof)
Favorite slogan- Finishing=winning!
ReplyDeleteI think I saw a Garmin up for grabs but it closed quickly.
ReplyDeleteNone really but if I had to choose - Chesny.
ReplyDeleteI follow you & Chris K.
ReplyDeletePart 2:
ReplyDelete5323 - the haybales
or the first lightning one -- very cool. Wish I had a good camera/ the skillz to use one!

ReplyDelete"Discipline is making the choice between what you want now and what you want most."
ReplyDelete"Give the world the best you have and the best will come back to you." - Madeline Bridges
ReplyDelete"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me." - Ayn Rand
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower (wait, that doesn't sound right!)
ReplyDeleteI had to look up Kenny Chesney - my youngest listens to him but he's not on my iPod. Beastie Boys crack me up, but I know all the words to all the songs on Ten, so Pearl Jam wins hands down.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been around the blogging world long, so the coolest prize I've seen (at least to me) was that butt-ton of Gu you won recently from Melanie McQuade. That's like a year's supply or something!
ReplyDeleteTwittered the contest
ReplyDeleteCurrent favorite slogan is Trish Parrell's FB pic. "The only one who can tell you you can't is you. And you don't have to listen." Mike
ReplyDeleteFavorite pics: this was hard, and I simply love your sunsets, but my favorite ultimately is the storm pic IMG_5611a you posted 10/28/10
ReplyDeleteBlogged about your contest! http://paddlepedalplod.blogspot.com/2010/11/goals-for-offseason-or-no-excuses.html
ReplyDeleteRe: best blog contest... I haven't been following much until recently, but SteveinaSpeedo has a really fun contest going on for a ton of swag, I think it's sunglasses, road ID, etc...
ReplyDeleteEntries were in the form of 'dancing on your bike'
"Pearl Jam, Kenny Chesney or Beastie Boys? +1 Entry"
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I was baffled. I've been baffled a couple of days now, but not so interested in my bafflement that I would look them up in "the google" as one recently elected US official said recently. I'm guessing Pearl Jam would be a bit crunchy on my toast and so not good for my teeth. Maybe Ken is the owner of Chesney Hardware store? Are the Beastie Boys a support group for those dealing with weird practices?
I'm back!! Sorry for the lack of comments.
ReplyDeleteOk.... Time to think of a slogan....
Part 1: This is long, but it was the first thing I thought of:
ReplyDeleteEvery morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.
Part 1:
ReplyDeleteThe sunlight traveled millions of miles to greet you in the morning. Running 3 miles to greet it is the least you can do.
Part 2:
ReplyDeleteI follow both you yahoos.
Best contest: Steve in a speedo DOES have a lot of good ones
Beastie boys all the way
I am not feeling very creative at this moment so I will go with part two!
ReplyDeletePearl Jam....then beastie boys. Skip Kenny and replace him with old skool Randy Travis or Kenny Rodgers before his face got weird :)
I follow you and now follow bqordie as well.
ReplyDeleteI also posted this to my blogs sidebar just so you know :)
I need to get a picture of me wearing my cool kids shirt. I do wear it often :)
I love the photo you took recently of the lake at the foot of the mountains. It was the post before your race in Banff.
