Feb-bluary 2012

[Sweder]

Thursday nights are pavement nights. I opted for Mizuno Wave Harrier 3's, an offroad shoe with minimal cushioning to help keep my landings honest. I didn't fancy driving to Brighton so, with the snow having moved on at last I hit the streets around Lewes. It's been quite a while since I did this. One reason is the lack of DAB radio signal in town, so for the first time in months I strapped on my iPhone and hit an old run playlist. I couldn't remember what was on this particular list so I was pleasantly surprised by each new song.

Muse, Motorhead, ACDC, The Damned, Talking Heads, even War's Low Rider ... some great stuff, good running beats to push me along. First and second place went to the Doors. Roadhouse Blues got me bouncing along but LA Woman really lit my fire, driving me up the hills with such verve that I added a fourth lap to the session.

7.15 hardtop miles in 63 minutes.
Tomorrow: cross-training (OK, golf).
