"...lose yourself in the music, the moment, You own it, you better never let it go whoa, you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow...This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo!"
I don't know what it is about this song but it really has carried me away at the hardest points of the three mile assignment... especially today while completing it on the treadmill at the gym. "This opportunity" is the here and now. The chance to forget the fatigue, sweat and desire to quit and finish the last little bit. "To own it" and "never let it go".
Thanks Eminem. Today's workout is because of you and your words. It's tough running without Pina and my girls at times, and I really appreciate your motivation. I know I have written about music before, and how beneficial it can be at times. Today was one of those times.
Slowly, I'm brainwashing my mind for when I need to tap into it during way longer runs. When I HAVE to ignore the negatives and push to that glorious end. This brain of mine can be so stubborn, just like my son... but my heart is stronger. Take that!
