rolling seven


I may have to consider removing some of the Radiohead from my iPod (or at least assume a more active DJ role). When Street Spirit shuffled onto the scene today around the five mile mark, it almost broke me.

I logged a nice run today, to Webb and back (seven and a quarter in 53:40). It was the longest run of the year so far and I am now entering the rarefied territory of "distances I haven't run since high school," besides the time Witmer and I inexplicably ran over 8 miles during one of our college summers. The real test will be two weeks from today, when my Saturday mileage gets bumped up to 9. Stay tuned.

yes, drop the radiohead. i've got 15 step on my playlist, but it's got a good beat. just reading about the possibility of listening to street spirit while running... ugh.

my favorite to pop up currently is james brown, get up offa that thing. makes me smile no matter what.
