Bulls on Parade-Rage Against the Machine
Firestarter-Prodigy
Tubthumping-Chumbawumba
John the Revelator-Depeche Mode
Slow-Kylie Minogue (Chemical Brotherers Mix)
Ruiner-Nine Inch Nails

Cool-down:
Teardrop-Massive Attack
Landed-Ben Folds
100 Years-Five for Fighting


This race is unique because the course lies on a ski slope that typically doesn't get much use in July. I completed the race last year (it was the first annual), but it was 85 degrees and humid, so I didn't get much for style points. Another cool feature of the course is that it is populated by shouting drill sargeants, a guy in a Smoky the Bear costume, Civil War Reenactment guys, and random people encouraging or razzing the runners. The event was catered by a deli last year, so all the racers ended up eating hot beef brisket sandwiches at 9:30 in the morning, which were quite damn good.

In thinking about continuing my routine post-birth, I've been checking out jogging strollers, and the BOB seems to be a good contender. The model I like they call the "Stroller Strides Fitness" version. The stroller part looks solid, but it comes with "exercise tubing," a fitness manual, and a bunch of other junk that looks sort of goofy. If the stretching/strength routine they prescribe somehow involves the stroller itself, I'm pretty much guaranteed to look like the biggest jackass in the park.
