With Christmas just around the corner, you’ve undoubtedly been inundated with holiday songs just about everywhere you go (in some stores, it’s been since August). And if you listen closely enough, the funny thing is some of your favorite winter classics have perfect parallels to running, like this one:
1. Frosty the snowman
Frosty the snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said
Let’s run and we’ll have some fun
Now before I melt away
As for the other holiday classics? Well, they just need a few tweaks …
2. Rudolph the Red-Toed Reindeer
Rudolph the Red-Toed Reindeer
Had a very shiny blister
And if you ever saw it
You would even say, ‘No, sister!’
3. Jingle Bells
Dashing through the streets
On a tempo run tonight
O’er the hills we go
Pushing all the way…
Oh, what fun it is to laugh and sing a running song tonight.
4. Twelve Days of Christmas
Twelve muscles hurting
Eleven hills a climbing
Ten nails a splitting
Nine eggs a nogging
Eight kilometres a hoofing
Seven PBs a wanting
Six shoes a buying
Five barbeeeeques
Four missing socks
Three neon shirts
Two rubbing thighs
And a big goal in the New Year!
