Today I almost ran the Front Runners 5-mile Pride Run in Central Park. Sadly, around the 2-mile mark my toe went totally (HA!) out-of-whack and I had to be transported to the finish line in the world's slowest ambulance. I'd rather not reflect on that. So let's focus on some interesting musical tidbits instead:
* Artist of the first song to pop up on my iPod as the race began: Lady GaGa (see this previous post to understand why this is significant)
* In the "Prime Example Of Irony" category, song playing during the first uphill stretch of the course: Jane's Addiction — "Coming Down The Mountain"
* Rounding out the "Prime Example Of Irony" category, song playing right around the time my toe died out: Nancy Sinatra — "These Boots Are Made For Walking"
* More GaGa: One of the raffle winners announced was named Alejandro. Everyone immediately started singing. :)
And despite the fact that I now need to have my toe X-rayed and may not be able to run again for a while, it was still totally (HA!) worth it because I totally (HA!) got to talk to Daniel Vosovic at the starting line and pretended I didn't know who he was, even though I recognized his tattoo and he was wearing ostrich feathers. ♥

If you had to be transported in an ambulance, you should have picked a healthy one at least, with the sirens and all!
ReplyDeleteWhere's your sense of drama?! :P
Ostrich feathers. Because they are aerodynamic? Or because they say, look, it's me Daniel Vosivic undercover? Or because these minimalist jogging shorts needed a little something something?
ReplyDeleteBecause he is FABULOUS! Don't question! :D
