[in edit] Tips on Running by Lily :D

Tips on Running

> Drink a bottle of water within 2 hours of your run

> take a little sugar (NOT SUGAR FREE it will give you gas! :( ! ) - like a gumdrop right before you run, it will give you a spurt of energy

> look out the window before you run and mentally prepare to run- as you are still stuck inside, create in yourself a desire and urge to run, look at the buds slowly moving in the wind and imagine yourself, running in slow motion

> have a good music mix

> BE PASSIONATE: run to the music, and agree with the lyrics, meditate on the emotions. the passions of the singer you will find alignment with as you yourself are in a struggle of emotion, whether it's a flood of thoughts of the events of the past week or the difficult aspects of the run

> look at different things - have things in your route been changed? 

> vary your pace, run little sprints, then slow jog, then speed up and catch a rythym

> set a timer, not a distance. choose to keep sustainably running for a certain amount of time. I like to set a 30 min. timer on my wristwatch

> focus of breathing for the first mile, doing so will help you lapse into a good steady rhythm that sets a stage for a long comfortable run, long breaths,breath in through you nose

> The actuality of the regular. run every day. sometimes you only have time for a mile

> earlier is better

> Jump! find parts in your run where you can run and leap

> talk about it, get other ppl excited, and keep accountable with other runners.

the lyrics here:

On and on and on we’ll stay together yet
On and on and on we’ll be together yet
You and I will try to stay together yet
On and on and on we’ll be together yet

Please don’t cry we’re designed to die
Don’t deny what’s inside
On and on and on we’ll stay together yeah
On and on and on
On and on and on

One day we’ll disappear together in a dream
However short or long our lives are going to be
I will live in you or you will live in me
Until we disappear together in a dream

Please don’t cry we’re designed to die
You can’t deny even the gentlest tide
On and on and on we’ll be together yeah
On and on and on
On and on and on
We’re going to try

Please don’t cry
This world of words and meanings makes you feel outside
Something that you feel already deep inside
You’ve denied
Go ahead and cry

On and on and on we’ll stay together yet
On and on and on
On and on and on

You and I will stay together yet
You and I will try to make it better yet
