I have been making a list of various songs for Cheryl's training runs. Now that I finally have the tech and the time, I took a few moments ( About 2 hours! Which flew by!) to assemble a few songs that we might enjoy. The motivation is there for both of us. For me, I won't have to constantly think of a topic for conversation to help the miles pass by faster. For her, She will no longer have to hear my destroy one of her favorite songs as I try to sing it while out of breath.
And no Snow or Ice!
#1 Running song.
We got the usual ones. Mostly Rocky songs and a few other common ones we hear at the races. I could not get the #1 running song.... Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. ( An AWESOME SONG!) But while making the list, I found this!
Florence and the Machine the Dog Days are Over. This song has haunted me ever since I first heard it. I first thought it was a Chrissie Hynde song from the Pretenders. The voices have a similar ring to them. But FINALLY I have a name and title and an opportunity to hear it without a noisy bar or Expo to compete with it. So enjoy this song. It starts slow and picks up...wait for it and enjoy!
Yesterday was just one of those days where everything seemed a little....off. Oh, It started off fine, then our car overheated. ( don't worry Andy, It's fine.) I thought it sounded a little strange....and before I know it, the arrow is in the red zone! Well, Pull over, Search the back and add coolant. No leaks, but it still freaked me out so we limped it to the gas station and filled it ultra top off and no there is no problems. BUT then....there was the wind. Another VERY windy day in Iowa. I moved the cars away from the large tree for fear that it would fall on them. Sometimes a nice breeze is refreshing, but this was one of those ' kicks up all the dust and throws it in your eyes' kind of wind. Then the little things: The water supply was poisoned, the garbage man did not come, the wind blew the garbage all over the yard! The ONLY convenience store could not make any coffeeor operate it's soda fountain because of the water ban. So....Cheryl and I decided to hole up and hide out and wait for the wind to pass. We were bums and tried to take it easy. I feel we made the right decision because it was not a truly TERRIBLE day....just one of THOSE days...
