At mile 10 yesterday, I was tired. And thirsty. I only had two big swallows left in my water bottle and had to make a decision on whether or not to turn right and complete the final two miles.
So I popped my earbuds in, cranked the music and kept repeating, "Mind over matter."
I honestly don't remember all of the songs ... "Baby I'm a Firework" was in there. "I Got You Babe" made me smile. I belted out the oooga chackas of "Stuck on a Feeling" loudly, willing myself up the last hill. Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" (which I always sing as "moves like Draeger" while thinking of my pals Seth and Drew) carried me over the other side.
By the time I got to my garage, I was whooped. I had drained the last drop of my water bottle. I was sweaty. I didn't think I had one ounce of try left. Jim was mowing, with his own headphones on and I stood there watching him for a second.
Then it happened.
"I'm Sexy and I Know It" burst into my ears.
And I danced in the driveway.
Full-on, get down, shake my ass dancing, as Jim just shook his head. And laughed.
Apparently, I had some energy left.
