Well, I officially SUCKED at the XTERRA Boordy Vineyards 5K Trail Run (located a few miles north of Baltimore) this afternoon. I guess that's what you get when all the running you do is on a treadmill at Gold's Gym while watching movies in Cardio Theatre or baseball games in the main workout area. But, I finished it. Afterwards, things got much better. The race provided food, drink, and even a free winetasting for those who ran.
The best part was listening to the bluegrass group Jericho Bridge. These guys played a lot of traditional bluegrass tunes, then expanded into some strange bluegrass arrangements of a decidedly non-bluegrass flavor, such as Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit," Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here," Jethro Tull's "Locomotive Breath," and the Who's "Going Mobile."
Next time I'm going to run slower and drink more wine. Or maybe just skip the run and drink more wine. Or listen to the bluegrass group and drink more wine. I think there's a common element developing here...
