15 miles or how I learned to stop fearing and love the iPod
Edited on Mon Sep-17-07 10:49 AM by underpants
So I ran a whole 15 miles on Saturday. I couldn't do any more city running so I drove 5 miles off a rural route and THEN started measuring the run.
I have to say it is a bit surreal to actually run 15 miles but since I was out there I figured I should try this whole iPod thing. Not one to follow the crowd but there may be something about this.
The iPod seemed to know I was out in the middle of NOWHERE running on long lonely roads of nothing (except to those who live there) so the playlist went down something like this
Prine Sunvolt Grant Lee Buffalo more Prine Southern Culture on the Skids Prine Grant Lee the one Ted Nugent song "Stranglehold"- god knows whatever you think of him that is a kickass tune and then right when I realized where I was - James Taylor "flying machines in pieces on the ground" More Prine Gery Rafferty and I SWEAR TO GOD mile last 1/2 mile...... FREEBIRD and I kept listening to it on my walk/cooldown.
15 miles with a brutal uphill at the end (Turner Road off Route 5-the original path out of Jamestown) wow this marathon looks like it really might come off. I'm am glad to be along for the ride.
B-) :headbang: :woohoo: :web:
ON EDIT - The fearing part-from quitting smoking to running absurd amounts of mileage like say 15 miles I have found that the fear of the pain far exceeds the actual pain. As Crash Davis famously said "Run, dummy!"
