On Saturday I will run my second half-marathon, 13.1 miles through the streets of downtown Indianapolis, including a couple of miles on the Brickyard. (Presumably without cars.)
I've done my training and my tapering, but I feel unprepared. My half-marathon in Key West featured a field of about 700 people. Saturday's field? 34,999 runners -- and me. I'm trying not to have a goal time in mind, because I know the start will be chaotic, and I'll be running a course for the first time, which is never good for my very methodical brain. My brain likes to know where it's going and when it's getting there, so my body is going to be working hard to overcome that. Nevertheless, I have a new playlist for this occasion. It's sufficiently random that I hope it will suit my fluctuating moods for a couple of hours. Or less. But who's counting? Dreams, Van Halen Your Love, The Outfield Been Caught Stealin', Jane's Addiction Candy, Iggy Pop I Can't Be With You, The Cranberries Feed the Tree, Belly In the Blood, Better Than Ezra Inbetween Days, The Cure You Spin Me Round, Dead or Alive Bizarre Love Triangle, New Order Ch-Ch-Check It Out, Beastie Boys Confetti, The Lemonheads Malibu, Hole Casino Queen, Wilco Ugly on the Outside, The Judybats Two Hearts Beat as One, U2 All Day Afternoon, The Judybats Headsprung, LL Cool J Poison, Bell Biv DeVoe Jump, Kriss Kross Sure Shot, Beastie Boys The Humpty Dance, Digital Underground Kickstart My Heart, Motley Crue Somebody Save Me, Cinderella Boom, P.O.D. Run to the Hills, Iron Maiden Look What the Cat Dragged In, Poison Cherry Pie, Warrant Seventeen, Winger Sex Type Thing, Stone Temple Pilots Set Me Free, Velvet Revolver Panama, Van Halen Working for the Weekend, Loverboy Tall Cool One, Robert Plant Limelight, Rush Free For All, Ted Nugent You Wouldn't Know, HELLYEAH Sucker Train Blues, Velvet Revolver For Those About to R
