Jumpin' Januaries, Batman!

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

We need some 'road' songs to keep our spirits up; a soundtrack to LE JOG perhaps. There are several fairly obvious choices - Lee Marvin springs to mind, as does Willie Nelson - but I'd like to reach into the darker recesses of popular (and unpopular) music for some lyrical inspiration.

My first nomination (I'll post some lines in my next postcard from LEJOG) is 'Keep Us On The Road', Motorhead's early nod toward pharamceutical enhancers published on their fledgeling LP 34 years ago, imaginatively entitled 'Motorhead' and produced by, appropriately enough, one Speedy Keen.

I'll put some thought into it. The only one that springs immediately to mind and which seems doubly appropriate for Le Jog is Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity.

Meanwhile, another 5km early morning dragging of the old bones around the streets was had. My enthusiasm is flagging just at the moment (despite a pretty good outing this morning), so some rousing, motivating and inspirational music might be the ticket. How about Slade's Mama We're All Crazee Now?

Le Jog progress.
