Geez. Over three weeks since the last time I posted, huh? It hasn't been for lack of topics--more for lack of time. Work has been busy leading up to the end of the year. And then traveling for the holidays and a wedding. Three weeks just kinda appeared eventually.
Anywho, so I'm clearing out my backlog of post topics with my very delayed music post for the Portland Marathon. Below is my playlist from the race. You can go here for a basic outline of the process.
It took me about four hours to compile this playlist--longer than it took me to run the race! But I have to say, I really like this mix. I listed to the majority of it, all the way down to Don't Stop Believein' with a minimal amount of skips. Usually I end up listening to only half of the songs because I pause the music so much to establish my own cadence. I've enjoyed this mix so much that I haven't switched it out for another in the months since the Marathon--granted I've done very light running until this week (official first week fo training for Austin!).
