"I'm Mr Brightside"

WOW! Commute route 43:29!!!!!!!!!!

Normally the route home takes me 52-57 minutes. Music makes a difference though. When I was rocking out to Mr. Brightside (the Killers) I looked up and realized I was already passing the statue that normally takes 24 minutes to get to and my watch only read 19. Music for me really decreases the RPE as we say in the exercise physiology/cardiac rehab world ( the rate of perceived exertion) It just doesn't feel as hard. But it'd be dangerous for me to run with music all the time as I'd over train....it be like running in college with competitive teammates racing everyday! Such a waste of all that effort. Besides, I still make fun of runners with headphones dangling.

Random thoughts on today's run from my head:

So what does Anne think about you posting to the world that you saw a girl with the "best body I have ever seen" on your run????

Ahh, note I didn't say the most beautiful women......cause that IS Anne. And she surely would say there are easily a few million guys out ther with better bodies than mine! :-) Lets face it, guy runner bodies are not great to look at.
