Yes, it's hard not be dragged down by someone being whiney, but it was a very pretty walk somewhere I love. I was just thinking that I've run that exact route with about 5 different friends and every time has been more fun than it was with H today! I was playing 'Shine' by Aswad during a run the other day, some of the lyrics go:
Come on and shine (shine), shine like a star Shining so bright like the star that you are Oh oh oh oh shine (shine) into the future Spreading your light wherever you are
I burn like a fire left in the rain As I run the race, oh yes I feel the pain From the resistance I'm feeling the strain Now the realization is that we are all born the same
Come on and shine (shine), shine like a star Shining so bright like the star that you are Oh oh oh oh shine (shine) into the future Spreading your light wherever you are
I reach for the moon and I reach for the stars With the strength from within me yeah, the further and faster I run Stretching my sinews to the bone Achieving all goals that I seek, I know I must do it alone When they said I'd never make it I found strength from within 'Cause it is there if you seek it So you can get it if you really want so
Shine (shine), shine like a star Shining so bright like the star that you are Oh oh oh oh shine (shine) into the future Spreading your light wherever you are
For a runner going through a tough time, those lyrics are just about perfect, I now have it on repeat
