iThink:
Tears For Fears, "Goodnight Song"

Today was cold. At least, cold by Virginia standards, not Kansas standards. I raised the snivel-con a bit and had a rough first two miles, especially uphill. Once I was warmed up, the uphills didn't seem so bad, but before that, it was pretty suckarrific.

I debated briefly whether to sleep in or not, but I'll get at least a day or two of no running this weekend when we go down to Raleigh NC to see the Younger swim in a meet there. Thus, no rest days because I know I'll get it on the weekend.

The Tears for Fears song was a surprisingly usable running mantra.  It's a song I hadn't thought about in years, although I listened to it quite a bit when I was on my first combat tour in Iraq, back in 2005-2006.
