Chasing Trams
Published Thursday, September 15, 2005 by Mathieu | E-mail this post
With the warmer days, I've rediscovered the sport of running outdoors. After months of plodding-mixed-with-bursts-of-frantic-sprints on the conveyor belt in the gym (
interval training), I am once again enjoying the sense of movement that my legs have to offer.
Try this: get a good running song going on the iPod, and an adjacent tram on either High St (downhill) or Toorak Rd (uphill), and chase it along the footpath. You'll not only get an audience from the passengers and driver, but an adrenaline pumping and instant incentive to RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
Leap trumphantly over fire hydrants and park benches when you win.
If you can do this a couple (a few) times you'll end up more winded than any
Tamagotchi conveyor strap ever will.
Addition:
By request, here are my running songs:
Rippin Kittin (Glove Tension Dub) - by Golden Boy with Miss Kittin
Lola's Theme (Extended Vocal Mix) - by Shapeshifters
Identity (アイデンティティ)- by 椎名林檎(Shiina Ringo)
KUROI ORUFE - by 椎名林檎
