Half my miles are done. And some good exercise music!

I had 14 miles on tap for today.  I knew I was never going to run all 14 of those miles, based on having a race the day before and how my body is feeling.The rain and generally crappy weather gave me some cover for not running outside at all. 

Sadly, there's no other time this week that I can make up the miles.  I headed to the gym and the final three-hour elliptical workout of this marathon training season.  I'm so over the elliptical.  I wound up having a "15 mile" workout, meaning half of my miles for this week got done in one sitting.  (Hell yeah I am!)  The more important question is how will I entertain myself the rest of the week?

Some of my favorite running songs from this workout:

• Pitbull - I know you want me.  I refuse to link to the "official" video.  And it's nice to read the lyrics and learn Portuguese.
• Christina Aguillera - Come on Over.  Old school.  You can almost see the Disney Channel seeping out of this video.
• Lady Gaga - Edge of Glory.  As I've said before, Lady Gaga exists to populate my running playlists.
• Rod Stewart - Forever Young for the truly old school.  This song reminds me of my dad.
• James Morrison - Undiscovered.  This is one of my favorite songs to play on the guitar.  It's slower than I usually like for exercise.  But for long workouts it's good to have a few songs that are a slow steady pace.
