On my second day back to running I thought that I was going to die. Then a COP got on the treadmill next to me and started running at 11 miles/hour. I hate people who are in better shape then me. Then song "I fought the law and the law won" came on my MP3 player. This made me REALY HATE him. It's 3 days later and I still HATE him. He totally motivated me to keep running.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013855931157988460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31306161.post-70379139891725632352006-12-21T20:39:00.000+00:002006-12-21T20:39:00.000+00:00Maybe you could move the Rocky music towards the m...Maybe you could move the Rocky music towards the middle as to avoid the burnout you mentioned in your post. Or repeat it a couple times. If you're running 26 miles, hearing a song more than once is probably the least of your annoyances.Red Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002766539964107256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31306161.post-92060252645596207322006-12-21T16:21:00.000+00:002006-12-21T16:21:00.000+00:00Eric ~ You are going to do great.

I have every confidence that you will blow past the competition and can yell "Eff You Jake & Matt" at the end. <br />Well, it might come out more like a wheeze, but you get my drift.<br />Add "The Distance" by Cake. It will give you a good push too.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995636108623685490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31306161.post-71670325502084167212006-12-21T14:41:00.000+00:002006-12-21T14:41:00.000+00:00Los - Good suggestion, unfortunately I don't reall...Los - Good suggestion, unfortunately I don't really think any music in general will give me as much help as I need<br /><br />JW - Not really sure where you got that, I've reread the post several times now trying to gather where I implied that and still haven't made the connection between the two. Take yourself a little more seriously though<br /><br />Jake - You are a celebrity in my book.

If so, I'll be sure to be there by 11:40 AM so I don't miss you finishing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31306161.post-40569061555989246182006-12-21T12:02:00.000+00:002006-12-21T12:02:00.000+00:00so are you saying the majority of marathon runners...so are you saying the majority of marathon runners don't finish in a reasonable amount of time?
