Pretty much uneventful run from my house out to Zephyr and back. Legs feeling pretty good but I felt like I was sleep running and couldn't get my head into the run. I think 2 consecutive nights of not much sleep was the main problem. Lower abs pain still buggy. Ave pace 8:35.
Well the Collective Soul concert ended up being a lot of fun. Many of the concerts I've been to at the Delta Center / ES Arena haven't been that great just because so many bands insist on have the volume so loud and the ESA is so echoey that it doesn't sound like music, more like a big loud screech like a jet engine or something. And with my ears being fried a bit back from the high school and college rock band days I usually leave concerts with ear ringing that lasts for days with a big loud-music hangover the next day. So I was very pleasantly surprised that CS kept the volume level reasonable and with the exception of the first song or 2 the sound quality was pretty good considering the location. Also before the concert, comedian Frank Caliendo entertained us for about an hour. He was a hoot. |
