ALL TRAILS LEAD TO AUBURN


"It's On"

It all comes down to this
You take your best shot, might miss
You take it anyway
You're gonna make your move today
Got the will, you'll find the way
To change the world someday
Grab this moment before it's gone
Today's your day

it's on (and on) it's on (and on) it's on (and on) today's your day so come on, bring it on
(and on) it's on (and on) it's on (and on) today's your day so come on, bring it on

And the view will never change
Unless you decide to change it
Don't feel like it today
Just show up anyways
And though life will take you down
It only matters if you let it
Get up, go through, press on
Today's your day

it's on (and on) it's on (and on) it's on (and on) today's your day so come on, bring it on
(and on) it's on (and on) it's on (and on) today's your day so come on, bring it on

And though you wanna quit
Don't think you can get through it
You've come too far to walk away
It's not gonna be today
And no matter how you feel
It's what you do that matters
This is your moment to be strong
Today's your day

it's on (and on) it's on (and on) it's on (and on) today's your day so come on, bring it on
(and on) it's on (and on) it's on (and on) today's your day so come on, bring it on

Love the site, Leigh! (Found you from Bob's blog, he knows everyone) Best wishes for a happy run, please say hi to #121 (Eric Barnes) if you see him along the trail. He picked 121 to represent 1 person to 1 person (1 - 2 - 1) making this dream come true for him. Great guy - you'd love him.

Love the song too! I can't wait to follow the updates and track you too. You guys are an inpsiration!

I found your blog via good 'ole Bob Gentile. I wanted to wish you the best at the WS100. I am SOOOOO jealous. I haven't tried Ultras yet, but feel that fire brewing deep inside telling me to go for it.

Have a great time on the trail. I'm looking very forward to reading all about the run.

Run your own race. Don't expect anyone to get you to the end except yourself.

Turbo,

I have been checking on your continuing progress on the WS100 "Where's My Runner?" website. You are to be ultra cosmic super congratulated for your 29:43:38 FINISH of this awesome tough course. What a great guy George is to help you meet this goal!

From Doug Malewicki, the old guy who you hate for beating you on the short half marathon trail distances & who would never even THINK of trying a 50 miler, let alone 100 miles! You are one tough lady.

wendy said...

CONGRATULATIONS!

I can't wait to hear the details!
