No, I don't expect you to care.Yes, I do expect some snide remarks related to my choice of music, my age showing, my lack of exposure to the "right" kind of music, my lack of culture, my affinity for Simon and Garfunkel, Willie Nelson, and Dwight Yoakum, etc. The fact is, I don't have a lot on my iPhone that might be considered 'running music'.
Perhaps even someone who suggests this is a lot of music so let me save you the trouble. It took me 2 hours and 57 minutes. (The next time will be better I promise)
The song that best matched my pace was "Free Falling" and the one that I might should've left off was "A Most Peculiar Man", which came right around the mid-point and might've slowed me down a little. It seemed hilarious to me when I put the list together to think about that song coming up in the middle of the race but there's actually very little that occurred during the race that even I could find funny. Certainly not a slow song about a weird guy who kills himself. Live and Learn.
