Almost a Marathon

There's a song from the sixties that goes through my head on my long runs. I just Googled it to find the name of the song. The singer has been walking for three days and two nights to get home to his woman. This man knows tired! It was a hit by Edwin Starr and the name of the song is "25 Miles". Besides the motivational lyrics, it has a good beat.

Let me tell you ya'll
I, I, I, I, I'm so tired
but I just can't lose my stride

Come on feet don't fail me now
I got ten more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven, six
I got a five more miles to go
Now over the hill just around the bend
Huh although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride

I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on oh ho ho

Now I am curious to listen that song. My favourite to run is "Stargazer" by the Rainbow (the leader is Ritchie Blackmore former Deep Purple)
