Playlist

Since my running partner was out sick, I had to run the 1/2 marathon this morning by myself! Well, if you can call running among hundreds of others down shady paths surrounded by deer and trees "by yourself." I was not planning on listening to my iPod before, so I had not come up with any special playlist for the race. So I plugged in, put my iPod on shuffle, and here below is recorded one of the weirdest song lists I've ever listened to.

Where Have all the Rude Boys Gone? - Ted Leo and Rx

I skipped several songs when they seemed too "slow", so some haven't been listed and some that were listed weren't necessarily listened too, at least not for very long. I finished out the race to Ted Leo and set a new PR for myself, so all in all I'd say the tunes were a success!
