LIFE'S SO FUN.

For those of you just joining us, each year, beginning with my first run of the year, I run to a playlist from each year of my life. That includes in utero, I was born in 1968. But 1967 is a pretty boss year for music.

I've been doing this since 2007. It began as a way to get out into the cold. A motivation, if you will. What will this year bring? It puts me in that space and time, and that is a great way to keep moving forward.

I used to try and see how fast I could get through all the playlists, but that doesn't concern me as much anymore. Last year I finished in June, and that was all right by me. 

Ladies and gentlemen, we begin. 56 Playlists for 56 Years (1967-2022).

Smart choice, the long pants. It's above freezing, but the wind would have been painful. I felt good! Haven't run in well over a week, so I have a reserve, let's see if I can keep this up. It's supposed to get cold ... but who knows?
