Tangled up in blue

[namaste]

Finished my running class last night. It proved well worth the time and effort and money, because I do feel far stronger in my running, and ready to tackle something bigger. Like maybe the local half marathon in the spring. Yow.

Tonight, working at the Bob Dylan show. (Perks of volunteering with local music club, free music in exchange for ushering!)

Tomorrow, working at Los Straightjackets. If you haven't seen them before, five words: Surf rock, Mexican wrestling masks:

And finally, working the Verve Pipe kid's show on Saturday morning. Lots of music. Yay!

The show was pretty good. Dylan had a hot band, and the acoustics helped a lot but still, yeah, hard to decipher. A lot of songs were "mumble, mumble, mumble, mum-just like a woman" at which point you'd go: "Oh, I guess I do know that one."

I took the running class because I was doing sprint triathlons this summer (which include a 5K run) and I was tired of always sucking and getting passed on the run. The focused training has really, really helped, to the point where I did a 5K a few weeks ago, and felt like I was just getting warmed up when it ended.

My niece, who is a marathoner, swears by her training group, so I decided to give it a try. I can't imagine ever getting to the marathon level, but the local half-marathon -- the Dexter-Ann Arbor run -- is quite the local event, and I've thought it would be good to do someday, and it seems like this may be the time to keep pushing and go for it.

Yeah, it's no accident that the only Dylan CD I own is of other singers covering his songs.
