Rebecca Black... rhymes with Track...


My track looks very dramatic here.





  1. Bloody rude geese not paying notice to the track rules. Enough said.

  2. I was hoping to see a parody video with you dancing and singing about your training strategies. Aron

  3. Ack! The link was broken. Well, sorry about that, but my singing is even worse than how she comes across here. Trust me on that!

  4. That said:

    1. If you want to be *technical*, speedwork isn't horribly effective until you've got a solid base. (The Lydiard school of thought on this is dead on.) That's really all I have to say, since the DEBATE IS ALIVE.

    2. I've had that song stuck in my head since last Friday. And tomorrow is Friday. Fuck me raw.

    3. Somewhere there is footage of me in a race where I had to weave around geese. It's swell.

  5. nice weather ... as if the track isnt hard enough already

  6. I had never heard that song. Now I wish I still hadn't. So, does it make you feel super old too watching that video? I feel ANCIENT. Plus, poor girl needs a better make up artist...

    (I just googled her. She was born in 1997. I feel old. Wasn't 97 like yesterday??)

  8. I was in college in 1997.
    Holy crap - that means that she could be my daughter, and it wouldn't even be that I had her at a scandalously young age.
    I'm old.

  9. After a segment on "Soundcheck" yesterday regarding Ms. Black, I had that song (mostly the Friday repetition part) in my head for roughly six hours straight. NOTHING HELPED. It was the like hiccups. I don't even know why I'm talking about it, it's going to get the song in my head again.

    Anyway, I try using "thrive" as I run - as in, thrive on pain. It doesn't work, but it does help as a reminder that running, as a rule, sucks.

  10. The geese would have been reason enough for me to stay away from that track. (I once clotheslined a goose with my oar on a row and they now all seem to have a vendetta.)

    "WEEKend, WEEKend!"
