About 26 minutes into a 30-minute run last night on the dreadmill (aptly named by my triathlete friend Clay), my iPod pulls up Pat Green and Cory Morrow singing Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way? It had been a pretty good run: I was walking two minutes and running for eight and had been adjusting my pace from 10-8:30 minute miles, which ranges from my normal pace to significantly faster than my flabby, old legs carry me. I was pretty pooped and planned to slow the pace back to 10-10:14.
Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way? begins with a hard, almost-angry guitar strumming, and the first verse ends with:
We've been the same way for years
We need to change
Interesting thought for someone who regularly asks if this is going to get any easier or wonders why he never gets any faster.
Thanks, Pat and Cory (and Hank and Waylon). For the last four minutes of my run, I pushed the pace to 8:30 and down to about 7:45. For those rabbits among you, that's cruising for me. I feel good!
