The Latest from Toronzo Cannon Highlights My First Run in Two Weeks

So the other day I looked back at my Fitbit workout log and saw that the last time I ran was November 6th. The reasons for not running are numerous, cod weather, windy weather, and rain days. However, the main reason may be increased babysitting of my grandson Logan and granddaughter Zoe.That may also be a convenient excuse for being lazy!

Anyway this morning the temperature was in the low 40s with no wind or rain. A look at forecast for tomorrow indicated that it was supposed to be a little colder a a little windy. So today was the day. I decided I would just run my standard 5K course and I had to tell myself to go slow! The run was my first in two weeks so just take it easy and enjoy the run.

Of course that is what semi- happened. I ran the first mile a little too fast. But I was able to cut it back on the next two miles and I didn’t struggle very much.  My warm-up was a little different though, as it included, a workout that included some Dance-Cardio and Yoga. The work was done between taking (and bringing back) a load of laundry to the laundromat

Anyway, here are the Nerdy Details of the Run……

The Soundtrack –  The Preacher, The Politician or The Pimp

I had planned to listen to Gary Hoey’s latest release Neon Highway Blues However, somehow only one song which I had accidentally started to play prior to the run was the only song in the que! So I listened to that song twice. Then further in the first mile I was able to switch to another album.  The first album that I saw was Toronzo Cannon’s The Preacher, The Politician or The Pimp. This is the second time this album has been the soundtrack of a run rather than write another blurb about the album you can read about it here
