New Music

Ok I am listening to the little music I have by the Tear Garden (Ka-Spel on vocals from the Legendary Pink Dots and Cevin Key on keyboards and drums from Skinny Puppy).
I only have three songs by this group on my iPod from compilations. Finding full length albums is difficult and costly. And I am reluctant to spend much money as am staying foucsed on eliminating all credit card debt.

Also discovered an electronic band called Boards Of Canada and bought one of their cds last night at Tower Records. It is very good. Very hard to categorize or describe. My little sister E. would like it I think.

N & J really like Kraftwerk, considered one of the first electronic bands. I've got a concert dvd of them that I am considering showing them tonight. The girls refer to Kraftwerk as "the robots" because they look and act like robots on stage and their favorite songs is called "the Robot". Also, the vocals are meant to sound processed like a computer or robot speaking.

No run yesterday, decied to pace myself some. So here is what I have done for working out this week:

Sunday 3 miles run
Monday 2 miles walk 50 ab crunches
Tuesday 3 miles run 35 ab crunches
Wednesday 4 miles run
Thursday 1 mile walk 50 ab crunches
Friday planning 5 mile run and 50 ab crunches
Saturday planning 3 miles run or maybe 4 miles

I think I am going to try and do a minimum of three runs per week, with two being 3 miles each and the third run will be the longer run. Presently I got up to 6 miles on the long run but might racthet that down to 5 for a week or teo, then up to 7 or 8. At any rate this will prevent injury or getting burned out AND I will then be ready for the ten mile race.

Still reading the Sherlock Holmes and the Cheever short stories. Rumor has it the temperature tomorrow will be 66 degrees so am considering taking N&J to Chicago. If not that, we will definitely spend most of the day outdoors.
