3-13-12 Week 8!! I had a good run today. My legs are feeling better from the weekend run of 12 miles. In all of the running that I have done so far for this marathon, I have never been sore from running. I mean that I have never woken up the next day and felt muscle soreness from running the day before. I have had some other issues, like pain from wearing high heels, but I view that differently. this week is different. After my 12 miles run, I woke up the next day and had a lot of pain in my upper thighs. It reminded me of my very first run ever, running the Reuther. When I did that I had to use the hand rail on my parents stair case to lower myself down. It was the same , but not as bad. I actually took the elevator at work and I work on the 2nd floor. I found myself apologizing and needing to explain myself to others on the elevator why I couldn't walk one flight Ha-ha!!
The weather is incredible this week. I picked the right winter to train for a marathon. When I think about the last couple of winters and how much snow we had. OMG, I would have been really dealing with winter. I only ran with the YakTrax once. It was a blast on Valentine's Day but honestly, glad I didn't have to use those every day.
I decided to listen to Pandora today. I haven't been listening to the Internet radio for a while, ever since I realized how much I was chewing up my wireless data allotment by listening to hours of Pandora. I don't quite get that. If I listen to Pandora in my home, using my WI-FI, it doesn't count. Too bad my neighborhood couldn't have a network of home WI-fi that we could all tap in to as we move about. Oh well, that is why I have been taking more of my old Cd's and loading them to my computer and copying over to my iPhone. All that aside, I heard a song today that I like that I had never heard before. It was done by John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas. It was from his album called The Wolfking of LA. The song I heard is Mississippi. Later I bought his album from iTunes so I now have the whole album and I really like it. He lived a troubled life and died too young. Lots of allegations about him but i am just writing about liking the music. Nothing more. As I went to look at the lyrics of the songs, I didn't like them. They are about drugs, gigilos, sex, alcohol, junkies, robbers. Not sure why I am surprised. I like his voice and I like the melodies of the songs, but when I actually listened to the lyrics, I can't say much about them and not planning to post them here.
