Running, Good Music and Good Running Music

Hi there.

Last Saturday I ran with my Team In Training group for an 8 mile run. We met in Virginia - you all know I hate crossing that bridge - and ran on the Custis and C&O Trail. What the HILL??!! It was challenging to say the least, as I'm not really accustomed to running on hills when I do my weekly runs in DC. But, I made it and I was siked to have another few miles on my shoes.

I met a great group of former AIDS Marathon runners for my 7 mile run and was looking forward to meeting up with them on Saturday, but none of them showed up. It was for the best, though, because I ended up meeting two very nice girls and we kept each other going for the entire 8 mile trek.

Monday I went for a maintenence run on a short trail from Dupont to Georgetown and back. In total it was about a 3 mile run. I don't have too much to report about this particular run because it was pretty boring and I had things on my mind - I wasn't really focusing on the usual things I focus on during a run. I was frustrated after being yelled at by a patient in a doctor's office and the run was more about blowing off steam than anything else. Stupid Michael Moore is making things tough for us in the Pharmaceutical industry.

Only because I've been so into listening to old music as a new vehicle to energize me during my run, I thought I'd leave you with a suggestion: Listen to "Baba O'Riley" by The Who if you haven't lately. It's gold.
