Running is a great way to keep the flab at bay and clear the mind, but it gets hard to stay motivated even with an RnB or 80's running mix.
I have managed to develop the habit of running at least four times a week but, over the past month, music just hasn't been inspiring me to push through the pain barrier.
So I decided to start up a new mixtape, drop the instruments and bring in McAvaney, Brayshaw and Tyler.
In my late teens I came to the realisation I would never be good enough to be Leeds United's right back, and my passion moved into the craft of sports commentary.
The passion for sport and emotion brought out by some of the great callers has helped keep my discipline in check, and now I feel like a superstar when running (I know I'm not though).
I have signed up for the WAtoday Swan River Run so it's important I keep my running routine in check to prevent any embarrassment on the fun run.
My list is still a work in progress and some of the moments captured may not be classed as "the greatest sporting moments", but the passion shown by some of the great callers is enough to spur me along Riverside Drive.
Below is the list, in no particular order, of what motivates me to run that little bit harder.
1. Martin Tyler - 'Sergio Agueroooo'
I'm not a Manchester City fan but any chance to see United not get their way is always special.
It's the only time I have ever heard Tyler hit the roof with emotion, usually he's such a cool customer.
The roar of the crowd, Tyler and a bad day for United, that's always going to be an ego booster.
2. Sydney v Geelong 2005 - Clinton Grybas
The late Clinton Grybas took this classic moment to another level, three minutes of well articulated pandemonium.
3. Sydney 2000 Cathy Freeman - Bruce McAvaney
One of the greatest moments in Australian Olympic history called by a legendary commentator, what more can you say.
4. Tim Cahill against Japan World Cup - Simon Hill
It's always a pleasure to listen to Simon Hill call any football game, but the second Cahill goal always brings a couple of tears to the eyes.
5. Socceroo's Uragury shootout 2005 - Simon Hill Craig Foster
The composure of Hill mixed with the never ending passion of Foster will always be my number one moment in sporting history. Period.
6. Tander vs Lowndes Bathurst 2011 - Matt White/ Mark Skaife
The sounds of the engine mixed with Skaife and White explain the moment without going over the top, fantastic!
7. James Brayshaw - Jake King
The way Brayshaw's voice erupts at the passion of the "Push Up King" not only makes me chuckle but never fails to fire me up!
*For the warm down.
It may not pump me up when running but it never fails to keep my spirits high.
Chris Kamara missing out on a red card.
It's just a start but for now this will make me feel like a pro as I plod along the river.
