ok, so i only hope this is the best running playlist of all time, and will carry me to a sub 30 minute 5k on saturday. yeah, i know that’s slow. i never claimed to be any good at running. yet i continue doing it. this is perplexing.

yep, lots of music from the same bands. i don’t listen to a lot of peppy music, and i’ve found that i can’t run to the music by most of my favorite bands, so i’ve had to branch out. anyway, i’ve been getting lots of google search traffic from people looking for running music, and i’m all about giving the people what they want. so there you have it.

speaking of running, i’ve decided to do a half marathon. that’s 13.1 miles. going to start working on it sunday, and should be ready by the first of the year. i have no idea why i am doing this. if you feel there needs to be a running intervention, any night but mondays works for me.
