It's repetitious and exhausting.
I might need some therapy;
Anything to keep me in check through the day.

I overran today. Which is different from overgalloping. Luckily my friend, Ran Dumb Thoughts has defined these terms for us. Overrunning is when you accidentally run to far. As in, I meant to run 6 miles, but I ran 6.2 (which is what happened to me today). Overgalloping is when you run too fast. Usually to try to impress an audience. Not as much of a problem for me. The run today brings me to 149 total for the year.
I took my son to baseball practice and then ran around the neighborhood surrounding the field. I used my brand new Nike Running App to tell me how far I was going. I realized that it is really terrible if you keep checking it, because I had thoughts like ".6 miles, all I have to do is that, 9 more times". These thoughts aren't helpful. But my run was successful - the streak continues.
But here is a problem. This guy (http://deadspin.com/how-i-trick-my-brain-into-thinking-running-isnt-the-wo-458598426 ) seems to have a blog about music where he pretends to talk about running. And he lists Alkaline Trio, Better Than Ezra, and Hot Water Music on his playlist. It feels a little bit like plagiarism. Or copyright infringement. Or something. This reminds me of the time I tried to sue Karl Malone for the same thing. For the record, I invented initiating contact and then complaining about it. Karl Malone made a career out of it and how many royalty checks have come in? Exactly.
On that note we add "Trusty Chords" to the playlist. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of HWM and associated acts on this playlist. Enjoy.
