The Love and Blunder family has just recovered (or is almost recovered) from a very icky bug which stopped by around New Years. But this post is about a different bug.
I have caught the running bug. I’ve been running at least 3 times a week for the past two weeks, and every day I like it more. I’m finding that it is exactly what I’ve been needing. I think it is that I can get away from everything and everyone for an hour and listen to music.
The other perk of running is that children CAN NOT touch you while you are running. You have your whole body to yourself, which isn’t so spectacular unless you are the mother of two small and happily attached children.
I’m probably going to be running in the Cleveland Half Marathon this May. My Papa ran it way back when, so it’s only fitting that it be my first.
And just for fun. Here’s the playlist that I made to work out to. You’ve gotta have tunes in the iPod age, and these ones are just right for running:
“Scotch & Chocolate” by Nickel Creek from Why Should The Fire Die?
“Popular” by Nada Surf from High/Low
“In A Future Age (Alternate Take)” by Wilco from Summerteeth
“Big Boat” by M. Ward from Transistor Radio
“Careful” by Guster from Keep it Together
“Vertigo” (Single Version) by U2 from Vertigo
“Hey Jack Kerouac” by 10,000 Maniacs from MTV Unplugged
“Heavy Metal Drummer” by Wilco from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
“Jesus on the Radio” by Guster from Keep it Together
“You Still Believe In Me 1” by M. Ward from Transistor Radio
“Light Enough To Travel” by The Be Good Tanyas from Blue Horse

Keep it up and pretty soon you will be addicted. : )
