I slept in yesterday but I needed to get out and get a run in, and I did. What I didn't count on was the streets being iced over because of a layer of sleet that landed last night. I vaguely heard it coming down but it would have been high adventure in anything not spiked, so I dusted off my shoes that have sheet metal screws in it.
I didn't concentrate on pace as much as I did relative effort. For going 7.6mi, I felt okay, but the proof will be in tomorrow's recovery run that I will need to do.
The problem in today's run was a suitable iThink. Almost no one else was out there, which was fine. I'm not sure what made me think of John Williams' "Adventures on Earth" (from his soundtrack to the film E.T.) but I hadn't thought of it in almost 25 years. Literally. I think I was in 8th grade when I first heard it on the 1983 album Out of This World, which Williams conducted with the Boston Pops Orchestra. I think the opening motif in that mirrored the sound of the sheet metal screws on wet pavement, actually.
I saw Restrepo not long ago (and now own it on disk) but this particular scene made me laugh my ass off. Hence the Gunther song. Awesome. And now I have the Song of the Day...
