I ran four and a half miles this morning. Woo! And I lived to tell the tale. Woo-hoo!

I would have done five but I measured the distance from my starting point to the Verrazano Bridge and back as exactly four and a half miles. And I liked having the goal of making it to the bridge as my halfway mark. I suppose that next time I could just pick a slightly further starting point so that it can be an even five miles.

But I couldn't have done it without my iPod shuffle loaded up with the three CDs from the WWE Anthology series. Listening to wrestler theme songs from the 80s, 90s and today, how can one not be motivated?
