Beam Me Up, Susanna Hoffs!

I don't get how people can go outside into the bright sunlight without sunglasses on. Walking 50 feet to the mailbox in bright sunlight is too far for me... not too far to walk, too far to go in bright sunlight without sunglasses on. Sometimes I'd stand just inside the door to watch my dog wander around the front yard for awhile and I wouldn't even be outside and I'd need sunglasses. Are my eyes super-sensitive? Nope. (I used to be a vampire but after my reassignment surgery, I'm all better now.) I just don't wanna screw 'em up any more than they already are (For many, many years I was 20/20 but now I'm farsighted.) People should protect their eyes, it's important! I wanna keep my vision as good as it can be -- "The better to see your lovely lady parts with, my dear!"

Anyway, even though the weather outside was a wee bit frightful, my sunglasses I left in Louisville this past weekend. Not good. I've learned my lesson -- own more than one pair!!!

Wednesday Afternoon Run: 26 minutes 14 sec

+ 4 seconds

4:45 pm - 50° - sun goin' down

No sunglasses meant I had to wait to go for my run today. I wanted to go earlier in the day but the sun was a-shinin' right overhead with almost no clouds in the sky and running in bright sunlight without sunglasses would drive me nuts, that is if I even attempted such a stoopid thing. Since I waited for the sun to dip below the treeline on the way down below the horizon, I had not a single minute of eye discomfort. I did have heat discomfort: long-sleeve running shirt was fine to start but I was wayyyyy too warm in the end. That's a problem so minor and insignificant it's not really worth mentioning.

A bit tired and I'm a-fearin' I might be sick (very sore throat causing me to not want to eat which is Ka-raaaaaazzy) but still I had a decent run. Unfortunately I didn't add much time onto my last run time but that was mostly on purpose and I think I'm okay with it. It's been six days since my previous outing and so I didn't want to add that much on and the songs I was using worked out to a mere 4 seconds added. At least I didn't backtrack, ya know . . . I very easily could have just done 23 or 24 minutes and worked my way back up.

Oh, I'm so tired now (more than just a bit) but I think my bod feels good: no soreness and I feel like I want to run again tomorrow! I might not (probably won't) but the fact that I'm wanting to now, that's a great sign.

Cool.

Wednesday's Running Playlist included most of this album...
	The Bangles All Over The Place 1984
Hero Takes A Fall Live James All About You Dover Beach Tell Me Restless Going Down To Liverpool He's Got A Secret Silent Treatment More Than Meets The Eye

Walk Like An Egyptian! Nope, not here. That came later. Here's the Bangles' first full-length album, a couple years or so after their debut EP in '82. I find it interesting that Susanna Hoffs doesn't take the vocals on all the songs here. I'm not sure she did on the wildly successful album A Different Light but I think she had the bulk of them. I'm not sure what the breakdown is here. Does it matter? No. I'm typing out of my ass. It doesn't matter who's singing but I do dig Susanna Hoffs on lead vocals. Another interesting thing (to me) is -- is this "alternative" or pop? College rock? I really don't know. Does it really matter? Again, not really. Really? Really.
