Life's Soundtracks ProgRock
The Pulse of Graveheart

So the only good things about tonight’s run were the music and the end, everything else in between was a struggle! Running once a week is not a good thing – I have to get moving and do more! Several times during the run I had thoughts of altering the route and cutting the run [...]

Can You Stand the Heat

Today I traveled over the Burlington-Bristol Bridge and out Street Road to the Costco in Warminster,Pa. The reason I traveled all that way today was to see about getting new hearing aids!

Spock's Beard X Live

Life’s Soundtrack: Greylevel – Hypostatic Union

Life's Soundtracks ProgRock
Hypostatic Union

So it does bode well for a run when within the first quarter-mile you start thinking to yourself, “You know my legs don’t feel very good, maybe I should just go back home”, which is exactly what happened today! But I kept going and turned inward and tried to concentrate on the music, which was [...]
