A few weeks
ago I asked my facebook friends to give me suggestions for a summer running
playlist. I told them: “I decided to put together an old fart’s running playlist
for summer jogging. Need your help! What tunes would you suggest? … And
remember, I am running at a full old fat guy sprint, so none of this
techno-disco rap stuff that will give me a heart attack!” Boy, did they
come through! Creative, humbling, funny, fabulous.
A special thanks to George Doug Shipley, Randy Shelton, Scott Sinclair, Penelope Belrose, David Negaard, Jerry van Rossum, Kristina Hiles Carlson, Cynthia Beebe, Michael Martens, Janice Glass Arnold, Nancy Downs Closson, Brian Fey, Lelabon Dyer, Trudi Gunderson, Lynn C. Logan, Paul Bennetts, Gail Overly, and Brenda M. O’Dell.
Some of you know me too well! What was especially fun and meaningful about this list for me is the range of friends: some as far back as elementary school; shirt-tail relations, as well as sis’; cherished co-workers from the past; a college roommate; many from church friends spanning 30+ years; and even a great contribution from a high school friend of my daughter, Kelly.
THANK YOU to all. (While some of your suggestions did not make the Trail Mix 100, all show up on my “long run 300” –hey, My long runs take most of the day!) Here is the list –way over half from suggestions of friends and family!
