insane running music, who's crazy?

So it’s 2012. Got my first run in for the year today, I love south Texas. 45, and sunny, can’t ask for nicer weather. As I was running today I was thinking if any non running person could get in my car and push play on my running playlist, I would be a little embarrassed. However thanks to Twitter, blogs, and running magazines, I am not alone in some of the crazy tunes coming through my ear canals. Honestly if it weren’t for afore mentioned groups, I might begin to wonder if I wasn’t just plain nuts. I mean come on I go out it the cold (yes 45 is cold in south TX) run for an hour all while listening to such chart toping  lyrics such as “aiyyo, Bo knows this, and Bo knows that, but Bo don’t know jack, cause Bo can’t rap.”. Hey it’s a great beat, and keeps the tempo up. Who can walk when listening to such contemporary songs such as Bonnie Tyler’s Holding Out For A Hero? I personally want to find an abandon warehouse and dance like Kevin Bacon. Come on you know you do to. Or perhaps you just might not have been born in the 70’s. So going into this new year I would like to thank all you in the running community for the assurance that I haven’t fallen off the deep end, and there are plenty more out there just like me. Are we the crazy one’s, or are they for not joining us in our adventure for negative splits? That is the real question.

  1. I have never sat down and put together a run mix. I say I am going to cause I spend so much time skipping songs that pop up.
    :) Another item to add to my list to get me back on the pavement.
    I am planning to start February 1st. I may start before but I wont stress or push it. I just have a goal to start again then since I am doing my Fast this month I dont want to overload myself, mind, body, and soul and then retreat into failure again.
