Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
but he keeps on forgettin what he wrote down,
the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won’t come out
He’s choking how, everybody’s joking now
The clock’s run out, time’s up over, bl-OW!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He’s so mad, but he won’t give up that
Easy, no
He won’t have it , he knows his whole back’s to these ropes
It don’t matter, he’s dope
He knows that, but he’s broke
He’s so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that’s when it’s
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don’t pass him
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo!
-Eminem (Lose Yourself)

You never know when your next shot will be your last.

Run Luau Run 
Good luck Luau, Enjoy it. 🙂
Are you inside of my head? Seriously! I listened to this on repeat all the way from shrewsbury to boston this morning!
You wanna know what’s funny? I almost posted this with the caption, “this blog post is for my man Doug who really IS a runner.”
LOVE the song!! I listened to this song several times before my 1st marathon on Saturday. I guess you still get nervous no matter how many marathons you have under your belt. Good Luck Luau!!
Sitting on the bus right now…heading to Hopkinton and my stomach is doing somersaults.
I feel 3:10, feel it!!!!!!!!!
Good luck today Luau! Run the race you’ve prepared for.
Good Luck today!!! You will do GREAT!!! You have worked so hard.. GO GET ‘EM!!!
Hopefully the tail wind helped you out!!! I also hope you had a GREAT race! Congrats and Kudos 🙂
My heart beats like a drum from excitement. I tried to watch the race online but it isn’t available in my area and my sister’s got the TV but that doesn’t change that I wish you good luck and a very good time!:)
Oh yeah, this was definitely on my pre-race playlist on Monday. It’s not race day without Lose Yourself!
