I think I'm ready!

I recovered pretty well from my 12 mile escapade the other day. Had a brief bout of bronchitis, but I amazingly seemed to beat it rather quickly.



Went out for a 3 mile run last night after dinner. First time i had taken 3 days off in a long time. My legs felt so strong and fresh, it was pretty awesome! Last night was Springsteen night on the mp3. I use to love the Boss, but that was before he decided he knew more about politics than I do! It's just tough to see than man spew his shit these days. But he does have some classic songs. In fact he has the only song to be on the mp3 twice. "born to run " One is his version, the other is a Melissa Ethridge cover.


So last night Born to Run comes on and I couldn't help but think about when me and the C.O.T. met "Wendy" way back in the summer of 88. Still the most amazing Bikini display I've ever seen. Whenever I hear the song, I think of "wendy" from our Bermuda cruise. Best stars and stripes bathing suit ever designed. Damn, that cruise was amazing (there ya go, easy Mike) So many good stories from that booze filled week. Seekonk, the 6AM meeting with Sal in the Casino!! So whenever this song comes on, i forget I'm running and get thrown in a time machine for a few minutes. It's pretty awesome!



We are about 5 days away from The Run to Remember and I'm feeling great. My only concern right now is the weather. It appears it is going to be a very warm day, could be high 70's late in the race and that worries me. Ill keep an eye on it and pray for a rain shower.


I also heard another Bruce classic last night, Atlantic City. So here is a little lyric combo just in case "Wendy" is out there among the millions (and millions) of Rossamaniacs!!

Put your make up on and fix your hair pretty, meet my tonight in Atlantic City!!
Wendy let me in, I want to be your friend, I want to guard you dreams in visions!!

Lifting with doug in an hour, gotta roll!
