Ed -
So now I've got shingles.
It's not so bad really. Must be a mild case because it just wraps around my chest to the middle of my back. The itching isn't too horrible but it does feel like I've been punched several times really hard all around the right side of my body.
But I've got goals set and a plan to follow and whenever I know I'm going to be pushing it I crank up "Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider as I head out to the track, the hills or whatever. Remember that Matthew Modine movie "Vision Quest?" He was a high school wrestler who wanted to take on the meanest, baddest wrestler in the state just to see how he could do against him. So he cut a bunch of weight, worked his butt off, etc. This song was in that movie and always got my mind right for working hard.
I put it up in the "Suggested Music..." widget.
Crank it up and Run On!
do we make song suggestions in the comments?
ReplyDeleteExactly. Whatcha got?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great movie. I want Shute. "You can't hold your hork...I love to see hork." Something like that. One of the best movies about going after goals and staying dedicated ever made in my opinion. Bobbo
ReplyDeleteAnd a hot "older" woman. Don't forget her! Oh, and Shute carrying that phone pole up the stairs at the stadium. Whoa. He just looks over at Matthew after he tells him he's trying to make weight to face him in the dual meet, and Shute just pauses, turns with that massive weight on him and says, "I hope you make it." Brrrrr...awesome.
