Shake it off

Good morning fellow exercisers.

We're shaking the dust off this morning. Cleaning out the cobwebs. Brushing off the clouds of debris that have collected.

I love the way that running clears my mind. It focuses me on what's important, and helps me think of the important things. I can wake up, scattered thoughts, mind all over the place, not even sure I can run. And then when I'm done, I'm sorted for the week.

If you're anything like me, you had a break yesterday - it being Sunday, so your brain and your body has gathered a little dust.

And of course, we need some music to help us get up and go. Hmm, what could that be? Something with a beat, I think? And some inspiration to get moving. Fast and furious. I wish I could think of something.....

Only kidding - I had the song all along. There was a tiny subtle clue in that title.

Yup, it's Taylor Swift's Shake it off. Here are some lyrics.

I never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don’t see, that's what they don’t see
I'm dancing on my own, I make the moves up as I go
And that's what they don't know, that’s what they don’t know
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Saying it's gonna be alright
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Off you go. Be brave. Go far and fast. You can do it.

Last week's motivation - on the right side.

Some more.
