dnephin: you have good taste in music! congrats on placing first
Spartanfan: Today, for a pre-race get-me-pumpin'-on-the-drive-over music: I played John Denver "Country Road" at full blast. And sang along. Got first in my division. Might not all be the Denver, though, as I also listened to Johnny Cash's Cocaine Blues and Jane's Addiction.

We've had some melting down here in the valley, it's gonna take some time though! Tried to trail run on Sunday and was punching through the packed trail up to my waist. and if anybody is going to use "Country Roads" to get pumped up for running, they should be using this version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNsc1B6bPOw&feature=related
Imminent Catastrophe
... I'm a huge ABBA fan. And PROUD of it...

Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

Umm...anything and everything Julie Andrews. Seriously. The woman rocks.
The Swedish National Museum in Stockholm has an entire wing devoted to ABBA. I saw a TV show once (can't remember which one) where a lot of big-name rock musicians said how much they like ABBA. Their outfits were cheesy, but their music was not.
I've got a fever...
The ringtone my sister has on her cell when I call is "Dancing Queen." I LOVE ABBA.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Speaking of ABBA, this is a personal cheese tri-fecta. One of my favorite songs from the 80's has the following going for it: •Comes from a musical (or technically, an album made into a musical) •Music written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus (the two B's in A-B-B-A) •Features a white guy rapping. Name that cheesy tune!
