Awwww.....you just need to go do Canton Trade Days......that'll get you in shape......if it doesn't kill you. (smile)

I don't know what kind of shape I'd be in but I'd be poor.I like swap meets. 6,000 vendors is a LOT.PJ

Come on PJ you can do it. Think like the little engine. I think I can, I think I can, I know I could.

Janet is right, YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Pretend you are chasing a mugger down the road, and when you catch him you get to Haaa Yaa him, lol

Egads Jolana, I've actually used that to continue kickboxing when I'm tired. The adrenaline helps when your arms weigh 4 million pounds each.
Janet,I'm going to chant that outloud so the other racers hear me,start laughing and I win!!!Bwahahahahaha! PJ

You know what's actually worked for me? I keep saying to myself..."I'm light as a feather...I'm light as a feather...I'm light as a feather. It's a blatant lie, but somehow, it helps me keep going when I want to give up. I have to say, though, that I've never understood how marathoners do it. YOU GO GIRL! You're light as a feather, you're light as a feather, you're light as a feather....

Shout along with some military cadences while you're running.
It works miracles! Let me know if you want me to send you copies.

(PJ, this made me think of you, except the 'old' part!)

I saw an old lady walkin' down the street.
She had a chute on her back, and jump boots on her feet.
I said, "Hey, Old Lady, where you goin' to?"
She said, "I'm goin' to the Army Airborne School."
I said, "Hey, Old Lady, I think you're too old;
You'd better leave that stuff to the brave and the bold."
She said, "Listen, Sonny, I'm talking to you;
I'm an instructor at the Airborne School."

I saw the same old lady walkin' down the street.
She had a pack on her back, jungle boots on her feet.
I said, "Hey, Old Lady, where you goin' to?"
She said, "I'm goin' to Marine Corps Recon School."
I said, "Hey, Old Lady, I think you're too old;
You'd better leave that stuff to the brave and the bold."
She said, "Listen, Sonny, I'm talking to you;
I'm an instructor at the Recon School."

I saw the old lady walkin' down the street.
She had a tank on her back, and fins on her feet.
I said, "Hey, Old Lady, where you goin' to?"
She said, "I'm goin to the Navy Diving School."
I said, "Hey, Old Lady, I think you're too old;
You'd better leave that stuff to the brave and the bold."
She said, "Listen, Sonny, I'm talking to you;
I'm an instructor at the Diving School."

I turned to leave, and she spun me around;
She kicked me in the head, and threw me to the ground.
I looked up through my tears, and with a voice full of fear,
I begged, "Please, Old Lady, don't kill me right here."
She said, "Listen, Sonny, don't you mess with me;
I'm Airborne, Recon, and UDT!"

Talk about making people laugh! LOL! Sure send some my way! Send me a running partner too. Don't you have to sing cadence to more than one person??? PJ

You guys are funny.

Where did you get the spelling of "Haaa Yaa". LOL

I think PJ needs to get a long stick with a string and dangle a Texas Native plant off the stick in front of her.

Y'know Carol that might just work...are we talking a salvia or a TX Madrone tree? LOL!PJ

Carol has hit on it

She would run cross country for a Madrone, lol

How do you spell Haaa Yaa kung fu chop??? LOL

"Kia!" Just like the car. It centers your inner cheese...sorry chi=energy,tightens up your abdomen and makes you more focused/energetic and less prone to injury. You just HAD to ask! LOL!PJ

hehehehe, I like Haaa yaa better, lol

I can spell Pork Chop.

Chop Chop!!!

Now that I think about it "Haaa yaaaa chop chop!" Might just work! The other person might just run straight away!LOL!PJ
