Would someone please help me get this dude's crappy music out of my head? Every morning, when I go down to the work cafeteria, they are playing one of those stupid "light rock" stations that specialize in workplace music. Invariably, I get some horrid song stuck in my head for way too long. Yesterday it was the damn Goo Goo Dolls, with their song from that Meg Ryan movie where she dies and Nicholas Cage is an angel that lives....*vomit* Today, it's "Endless Summer Nights" by one of the mullet brothers, Dick Marx. (The other being Sir Michael Bolton) Oops, I guess he goes by Richard. Anyone know how to reset the inner jukebox? I gotta reboot this thing. Grrrrrr!

In other news, I had a decent run at lunch. My standard 4.28 mile loop, in 29:22. Not a record pace, but only about 35 seconds off. All this talk about the plank is making me want to try to incorporate it into daily life. The other day Nancy inspired me to do it for as long as possible. After 150 seconds I was shaking like a dog passing a peach pit. I would like very much to get that higher, and not look like I'm in the middle of an earthquake when I'm doing it.

Tomorrow evening it's off to the Atlanta area. I hope to get a nice long run in Saturday afternoon, on the Air Farce base (sorry, fly boys), and then cruise through Sunday until I can come home. If I have internet, I'll be in touch. If not, have a great weekend, and race/train hard!

Edit: A big shout out to my home girl Jess - have a great half this weekend!
