Album runs are inspiring, they encourage me to run further more often. I used to just listen to an album for as long as it took to run however far I wanted to run that day, whether I finished the record or not. This month I have been trying to time the run out to meet the duration of the album.
And there's all kinds of records I have done yet! I don't imagine I'll ever run out.

One I embraced in college, the first track founds its way onto mix tapes for at least two women I was interested in, perhaps more. "Human Alchemy" was a revelation for a young white man (wait, "we" did this?) though today the African drums makes it a bit cringey.
