I started coming down with the flu on Tuesday, and it’s thrown a serious wrench in my plans to run a marathon on Sunday. Unless I feel ooodles better in the next few hours, I’m not going to be able to do it. I’ll make a final decision when I wake up tomorrow morning.
So home on the couch, with this very random collection produced by shuffling the Ipod.
1. “Wind and Rain”, Crooked Still
2. “The Year that Clayton Delaney Died”, Tom T. Hall
3. “Safe to Land”, Jars of Clay
4. “Sin City”, The Kennedys
5. “Malibu”, Hole
6. “Teen for God”, Dar Williams
7. “Tracks of My Tears”, Billy Bragg
8. “The Beautiful Ones”, Prince and the Revolution
9. “The Times You’ve Come”, Jackson Browne
10. “If I Had a Hammer”, Sam Cooke
Bonus Track: “These Thousand Hills”, Third Day
I’m so glad you’re not gonna try and be a hero.
So are you coming to the Pasadena Marathon tomorrow? How are you feeling?
Feeling a touch better, but not going to run. Best of luck to all who are, and I may jump in next year. I’ve done 14 marathons and want to do at least that many more, so I figure that the old line about discretion being the better part of valor holds true.
“wind and rain” — such a beautifully creepy song. hope you’re feeling better.
