Regardless of that obvious factor, I blew through the first have of my "run" at Mach 5. I think my thighs were shooting sparks, as I air drummed my way down the cobblestone with Metallica and Anthrax. Upon reaching my halfway point, I had a near death experience. Not the best sound track to have a near death experience with- bright lights, swirling air particles, Megadeath spike hammering away at my skull. And then it dawned on me, I tried to run like I was actually a runner, that a Nike film crew was following me because I was laying wake to an impressive soundtrack.
In reality, I was making footage for Advil and ice packs commercials. Have I learned my lesson? You betcha! Last night I trucked along to the smooth stylings of Van Morrison. And the night before I strutted with Steely Dan. Thank the Lord that I have a most eclectic music library; for now I will be hobbling along with Peter Gabriel and not Ozzy. (I'll save Mr. Osbourne for my house cleaning sprees.)
**When you think of me running, think of John Belushi's "Little Chocolate Donuts" ad. Just see what I mean; watch the clip linked to the ad title in blue.

You are too funny! Love your blog.
LOL! I tried running, on a treadmill at a gym. I get way too lazy on the stationary bike and when I'm swimming. I figured that I have to keep up on a treadmill. Anyway, now I've got really painful plantar fasciitis. I haven't been to the gym much since the kids have been home from school, and I'm still in agony when I get out of bed. Gah. See what happens when you try to get healthy!
