It was a nice morning for a run, except for the breeze.  When the wind was at my back, I started peeling off the layers.  But, when I turned into the wind, I started to freeze and had to put the clothes back on.  Overall, though, it was a pleasant morning. 

I ran out 1300 W to 7800 S, down to the rivertrail, on the River Trail to 4800S, and back up through the neighborhood to my house.  The last three miles were uphill and into the wind, so it was a tough finish.

I spent a couple of miles in the middle of my run contemplating the true mysteries of life.  Which is a better (or worse) song:   I'm Sexy and I Know It by LMFAO, or the 90's classic I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred . . . or, there is always the oldie-but-goodie Do Ya Think I'm Sexy by Rod Stewart . . . hmmmmm.  I think I needed a running partner today.

I agree with Allie.

I'm sexy and I know it is my standard pre-race or pre-hard workout pump up song. Gets me in the groove. Just never watch the music video, b/c it will ruin the song for you.

Just be glad you don't have to see Jake's dance to that song!!
