Run Lyrics - George Strait

If there’s a plane or a bus leaving dallas
I hope you’re on it
If there’s a train moving fast down the tracks
I hope you caught it

Cause I swear out there ain’t where you ought to be
So catch a ride, catch a cab
Don’t you know I miss you bad
But don’t you walk to me

Baby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can’t get here fast enough

Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run

If you ain’t got a suit case
Get a box or an old brown paper sack
And pack it light or pack it heavy
Take a truck, take a chevy
Baby just come back

There’s a shortcut to the highway out of town
Why don’t you take it
Don’t let that speed limit slow you down
Go on and break it

Baby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can’t get here fast enough

Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush

So baby run
Baby run
Oh baby run
Baby run

Run - Snow Patrol

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Jogging vs. Running

Running and jogging are AEROBIC exercises. Running and jogging affect the heart, lungs, muscles, and bones. Both these aerobic exercises help the body make over-all improvements.

JOGGING is not the same as walking. Jogging requires more muscle activity for the added speed, up-and-down bouncing, deeper breathing, and balancing. A beginning exerciser should start an exercise program with walking not jogging. The best routine is to exercise gently and then rest, exercise gently and rest, over and over. This should be done until the body is more fit and the resting heart rate gradually decreases. Then the body will be ready to begin sustained jogging, not before.

RUNNING requires a lot of effort. It is more intense than jogging. Running speed is affected by stride length and frequency as well as total body fitness. Runners are more likely to enter running competitions and fun runs. They train to improve their pace and level of fitness.

Runners or joggers who want to add hand, wrist, or ankle WEIGHTS need to add weights that are light (one pound or less). Keep in mind that adding weight to the hands places stress at the elbow and shoulder joints. Adding weight to the ankles places stress at the knee and hip joints. People with degenerative joint conditions should not use hand and ankle weights.

To improve your RUNNING SPEED, you may want to try wind sprints. Integrate wind sprints into your regular jog or run. Run faster than usual when sprinting for 3 to 5 minutes, then slow down to your normal jogging or running pace to recover for half of what the sprint time was. Repeat this 3 times. The principle is to go fast enough to get a little out of breath. Then return to the pre-sprint pace. Do wind sprints only once or twice a week, no more.

Do physical activities every day. It does not matter whether you are an endurance or recreational athlete. Everyone can benefit from regular exercise. Adults should get at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise most days of the week, preferably daily. (Children need at least 60 minutes a day.) Doing less than this will minimize your health benefits. Moderate aerobic exercise is generally defined as requiring about as much energy as walking 2 miles in 30 minutes.

Check with your healthcare provider before you start an exercise program. Choose activities that you enjoy, and that are readily accessible.

How to Avoid Injuring Yourself While Jogging

Jogging is a wonderful method to lose weight but it is a strenuous activity. It is such a strenuous activity that most people lose between 600 and 1,200 calories per hour. Even people in very good physical condition have to gradually build up a jogging routine. Unlike many other exercises jogging uses completely different muscles in new ways.

Some of the most common problems related to jogging are pulling muscles, developing knee problems and spraining ankles. In many of these cases the injury is caused by not conditioning yourself properly before going on extended runs and not wearing the right kind of shoes. Like any sport you have to take it seriously.

Stretching is an important component of keeping your body injury free. The calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, lower back, etc… are the parts of the body most prone to injury. Stretch them before and after each jog. If you need to jog in place a few minutes to warm your muscles up then do so. Stretch until you feel limber and then you can head out on your run.

The proper footwear is also necessary. There are many different types of shoes on the market for jogging but the best ones have proper ankle support and plenty of cushioning around the heal. When jogging your body takes some pounding and having the proper shoe will help avoid sprained ankles by giving support and reduce tension. Replace your shoes regularly as they wear out.

Over the years you could develop knee problems. In many cases you know something isn’t right if your knees regularly feel sore after a job. When this happens it is more likely a cause of running surfaces and footwear. If not corrected this may cause serious problems years later. It wouldn’t be much fun not to be able to walk up the stairs at 50.

Concrete is a very smooth surface and is often the material used to make sidewalks. The problem with concrete is that there is almost no cushion. Asphalt has more cushion and dirt or gravel is the best. However, when you are running down trails you have to concern yourself with branches, rocks and roots. Uneven terrain can also cause injury.

Taking preventative steps both before jogging and during jogging doesn’t need to be difficult. It should be integrated into your overall exercise routing. Preventing injury is an important component of enjoying jogging year after year. One injury can make future jogging impossible or limit your ability of enjoying the exercise for some time.

How to Do Jogging Correctly


Welcome to all sportsmen and people willing to strengthen your health!

Perhaps, many of you go in for sports, do morning exercises and maybe even do some jogging/running after awakening. But few people know how to do jogging correctly – first of all, to get a positive effect and not to harm yourself.

So, you have scrambled out of your bad willingly (or not very much) and went dressing up for outdoors. Keep in mind that you must go off for jogging so early that you could take a shower, have breakfast and little rest afterwards.

While dressing up we can encounter first questions. Let’s see several variants, depending on weather.


Sunny, warm about 17-30 C degrees:
put on smth light, as light as you can – sport shorts, and swimsuit – for girls. Guys can leave their trunk naked at all. When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees run carefully so that you don’t get a heat stroke, or body overheating – you can shorten the jogging time and take a bottle of water with you (just in case). Under the baking sun put on a head-dress, a cap or smth light. Light weighting comfortable sneakers, and you may not put on the socks. If you are sure not to injure your feet – it is extremely health-giving to run barefoot.

At 10 – 17 C degrees:
you better put on a duffel (tracksuit) - jogging trousers and a long-sleeved top.

When it is cold -15 to 10 C degrees:
Necessarily put on breeches (you may jeans), then a T-shirt or light jacket and then a wind-breaker. Another obligatory thing is a knitted cap, covering ears. If it’s still cold you may put on smth else under the wind-breaker.

-25 to -15 C degrees:
dress up approximately like in the previous variant but don’t forget to take the gloves and warm woolen socks (that you may even put on usual thin socks). Put on the sneakers densely tied up to prevent getting the snow inside. Don’t crawl into snowdrifts and don’t run along icy paths – for the sake of your health!

-25 C Cold Like North Pole:
only professionals can do jogging and running in such conditions, the amateurs are better to stay at home and do morning exercises. In no circumstances, do not put on the boots – always run in sneakers. Clothes of natural materials are welcomed – in synthetic materials it is cold in winter and hot in the summer. As soon as you came from jogging, put on smth dry. Main part of jogging clothes is necessary to wash daily. Try not to soak your footwear.


Now you’re at the street!

At first, do a small complex of exercises: walk an intensive pace for a minute then jump at one place. Then it would be extremely useful to do legs stretching and squat 10-20 times. If there is snow or any other soft surface, carefully (!) make 2 topsy-turvy. Start jogging slowly with at a light rate and then in 2-3 minutes speed up to the optimal speed.

Jogging/running technique:
body weight must be evenly spread along the footstep. Legs are a bit bended in the knees. Landing is done by rolling from heel to toe, basing on the external side of the foot. And don’t run on toes – it will result in flat-foot and pains in calfs. In general, keep the body straight, arms on-the-mitre of 120 degrees, fists clenched, arms not crossing near the chest. Relax your neck, shoulders, hands, fingers, jaws and tongue as much as possible. Step length is individual but optimal length is about 1,5-2 feet.

Breathing technique:
Breath in with your nose and breath out with your mouth. Doing so you satisfy your lungs with oxygen evenly. While breathing only with your mouth more oxygen is getting into blood but neither power nor volume of your lungs is developing. It would be better if you feel tired to breath with your mouth intensively for several seconds. Breathing rate mustn’t be very high, try to make a maximal inhalation and maximal exhalation. About the middle of your jogging trip - to train your lungs – try to declaim poetry, 2-3 strophes or sing a verse or 2 of your favourite song. Speak as neatly and distinctly as you can, without stumbling and delays. To determine the moment of finish you morning running trip, notice when you start to gasp – finish, don’t exhaust yourself up – save your health.

Useful advices:
don’t eat and drink before jogging, but this is very necessary after coming back home and taking a shower. After running it’s healthy to make cold-hardening. Don’t drive your running to pain and glitches in your head. Before finishing gradually slow down your speed and then just walk a little bit, jump a little bit.

Divide the distance you run into 4 parts and after finishing each part stop, make a deep breath, stretch (shake up) your legs and do some expressions (10-15). Doing so you will not only set your body up for a correct continuation but also pump up your arms :-)

Each 2 days speed up a little bit and the distance of jogging – at first a tiny bit, then more – but without fanaticism, please. And try not to give up your training – it will be quite difficult to renew them.

Well, that’s all! Wish you energetic boost in the morning and strong-strong health!
All the best!
