It's hard work having Brilliant Ideas

Over dinner last night we discussed my Most Brilliant Idea Ever. After everyone had stopped laughing Husband and Younger Son came up with some good suggestions.

YS pointed out that I would get into trouble if I used the From Couch to Stable motto. (For those who are unaware, there is a popular app called From Couch to 5K.) He also pointed out that the original title states the aim of the app i.e. to be able to run a 5k event.

He suggested an alternative of Galloping for Life. We decided this was too close to other slogans as well so I'm currently leaning towards Galloping for Fitness and Fun. 

Sonata asked if she'd have to say 'clip clop' as she galloped. I said it would be inadvisable as she'd need all her breath to breathe. But Husband suggested adding the clip-clopping to the soundtrack of the app, at different speeds, to set the pace for the galloper to move with. So all I need now is to find some music, copyright-free, that has the same rythym (I cannot spell rhythym!) rhythm as clip clop clip clop or clipety clop clippety clop or clipclopclipclop.

Elder Son mentioned that he didn't think that people bought mobile apps for Christmas presents so perhaps we'll launch it in the New Year when people have over-indulged and want to get fit. (Although YS said that you need to get some reviews in hand before you start marketing seriously.

Who would have thought that a Brilliant Idea would be such hard work?
