Asked the boy to choose between two years - 2016 and 1976. He chose the latter. Not only an education for him, but also I was glad not to hear him diss eevery track from five years ago.

1976 Playlist

I Wish - Stevie Wonder

Golden Years - David Bowie

Somebody to Love - Queen

Sir Duke - Stevie Wonder

Knowing Me, Knowing You - ABBA

Hot Line - The Sylvers

Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

He likes to sprint as we turn onto our street, and I lag behind. Today I was able to keep up for maybe one hundred yards. I'll get there.

Instead of hitting the gym, Chris suggested some team cross-training; a run to the Rec Center to warm up (that's a mile for each of us) then do some hills in the park.

That was a great workout, miles there and back clocked in at about 8:45 - 8:50. We met up and took one of the trails down the hill. They were blocked with downed trees and branches which made for an interesting obstacle course but nothing unpassable.

We made it to the foot of Forest Hill Road, by the looming, abandoned apartment building. Behind that is a path back into the woods, and we sprinted that three times before heading back to the center to part.

Wish I had brought my rec pass, I would have finished up by working the machines. But then again, maybe I would be wrecked right now if I had. Time to get on with my day.
