Ran 3 miles in 92 degrees at high noon. Poor planning. Then again, I'm trying to run everyday before Hurricane Isaac finalizes up his vacation plans in the Gulf coast.
Strangest thing about my run wasn't the heat but the inescapable tune of REM's "Voice of Harold" off their "Dead Letter Office" album. The song is among the selections the band discovered under couch cushions and hidden behind closet doors -- meaning, they were never intended for release. "Harold" is set to the same music as "Seven Chinese Brothers". The lyrics are strange even for REM: a vignette of gospel recording.
Anyway, that one weird tune carried me for 3 miles in pre-hurricanous tropical misery. Thanks, "Voice of Harold"!
You are my pick for Best pre-hurricane 3 mile run at high noon song EVER!
Enjoy! A must!
