So Long Farewell Aufwiedersehn Goodbye






Dec 26 2011 FINAL Route


(start the video, listen and follow with these lyrics)

There's a sad sort of clanking
From the clock in the store
And the bells in the stockroom too
And up in the backoffice an absurd little bird
Is popping up to say cukoo
Cukoo cukoo
Regretfully they tell us

But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye to you

So long, farewell
Aufwiedersehn, goodnight
I hate to run without my pretty tights

So long, farewell
Aufwiedersehn, Adeiu
I've ran with you and you and you and you

So long, farewell
Au 'voire, aufwiedersehn
I'd like to stay and run my first 10k
Yes?
No

So long, farewell
Aufwiedersehn, goodbye
I ran and stretched a bit and say goodbye

Goodbye!

I'm glad I ran
I cannot tell a lie
I walked I ran to Coit Tower I fly

The run has gone away and so must I
So long farewell aufwiedersehn
Goodbye--

Goodbye... Goodbye... Goodbye... Goodbye...

Well, what can I say? As I look back at all the runs, the people, and this blog, its been great! And what really matters is all the people who came and made Urban Run what it is today. A big THANK YOU to everyone.

If you're wondering what's going on, adidas Urban Run is coming to an end. The final run will be on December 26 followed by a farewell potluck party by our family of runners and everyone is welcome to join.

With that said, the routes are short, so you'll be back in a timely manner to enjoy the food and the people.

Oh No! I am not traveling to Las Vegas this week and I was so looking forward to running with my friends. Thanks to Warren, Adrian and Raymond for keeping the Urban Run alive. I will miss running with you all and hope to be back in town more often so that I can meet up.
