A great running song

I was listening to the new Running to Disney podcast now renamed and branded "This Running Life" and the opening song caught my attention. I could have sworn it was from Creed or someone like that but it turns out it is from a band named "2 Sided Story" and I had never heard it before, so much for my song memory. If you get a chance check out Gordon's new blog and podcast, his story is pretty amazing, started running a few years ago, turned vegan, lost 90 pounds and just finished a 3:48 marathon taking almost 2 hours off his previous marathon best.

He was also just on the The Runners Roundbable

with the woman who encouraged and coached him and I am pretty sure taught him a lot about the vegan lifestyle. Her name is Megan and she too has a podcast and blog, it is called Run Vegan Run.

Listening to their podcast on the roundtable has me thinking yet again about the vegan lifestyle, here is a link to roundtable blog where you can find that episode - RRT 109: Vegan Running. Also a few weeks back they had an episode on Nutrition with Nancy Clark (she has written many books on nutrition for athletes), give that episode a listen to, it is episode 107.

And here is the song:

I captured some of the lyrics (I think I got them mostly right),

Breaking free from the chains of disparity

I now see with clarity

Things will change and my life's rearranging and I don't need your empathy

I push back when my back is to the wall

Wise up when I start to fall

Reach out when I want to scream about can somebody help me

I knell down when I have to pray, I keep trying every day

Cuz through it all I tell myself I can go all the way

It is what I have to do, don't matter win or lose

Don't care what the hell they say it's my life anyway

I'll rise above the rest , cuz in the end I gave it all to break this claim

Cuz this is my life, cuz this is my life

Seem's so complicated so frustrating to find the strength

To move on through my life story to the glory and

Chase with each step what I am made for

I push back when my back is to the wall

Wise up when I start to fall

Reach out when I want to scream about can somebody help me

I knell down when I have to pray, I keep trying every day

Cuz through it all I tell myself I can go all the way

It is what I have to do, don't matter win or lose

Don't care what the hell they say it's my life anyway

I'll rise above the rest , cuz in the end I gave it all to break this claim

Cuz this is my life, cuz this is my life

Oh yeah, yeah, I got to find a way

Never gonna back away

I control my fate

I won't be afraid

I will fight to be

A better part of me

It's time I change my life

It is what I have to do, don't matter win or lose

Don't care what the hell they say it's my life anyway

I'll rise above the rest, cuz in the end I gave it all to break this claim

Cuz this is my life, cuz this is my life, this is my life............................
