9 miles - On the treadmill for convenience sake. Listened to some Shostakovich to keep my mind occupied. Pace at just under 9 minute miles.

Classical music! No way could I properly process Shostakovich while running, I'm impressed. Apparently he used to tick off Stalin with his supposedly political symphonies, but I can't hear anything but notes and chords.

Oh yes, Shosta is one of those composers that captures the essence of the long distance runner in some symphonies. Lots of ups and downs with a very strong emotional finish (7, 12, and 5).
