Dare You to Move

While trying to add more music to my running play list, I came across one of my favorite songs and felt the need to reflect on it since it's truly inspiring to me ...

"Dare You to Move" - Switchfoot

I dare you to move,
I dare you to move,
I dare you to life yourself up off the floor.
I dare you to move,
I dare you to move,
Like today never happened,
Today never happened before.

Welcome to the fallout,
Welcome to resistance,
The tension is here,
Tension is here,
Between who you are and who you could be,
Between how it is and how it should be.

So, not only is this song great from a musical stand point but I find myself frequently getting this song stuck in my head when I'm running. I love the lyrics that push you to move, to not give up, to keep going, despite resistance. It reminds me so much of my struggle with running and preparing for this marathon. However, this song pushes me to go just that little bit further because I know that I don't want to sit on the couch, to not run ... I want to push myself to get going and to prepare myself for my goal and accomplish this goal. I am daring myself to move ...
