the man is 57. i remember when he turned 36. that was the year i'd get to see him for the first time in concert. i caught 2 shows for the Serious Moonlight tour. i was only 17...no man could look better wearing suspenders AND a belt, that shock of yellow/blonde hair. the big fat halfmoon with little mylar moon balloons in it, space oddity he was and still is. happy Birthday Mr. David Robert Jones.

went for a run yesterday evening. do i have to say it was freakin' cold? had a good run though. only saw 2 other runners out there.

1. you burn more fat running in the cold
2. you'll be in damned good shape as opposed to the hibernating spring runners.

surprisingly, i wasn't too cold. i dress in layers and i try to wear anything cotton as an outside layer. i have 2 shirts (a tank and short sleeve) that move the sweat away from my skin. those are my core shirts. i wear tights (cut the feet off)under my leggings. wore 2 pair of thin socks, gloves and a hat. if my feet and hands are warm, i'm set. i could have run 5 miles yesterday, but i ran a few errands after work, so that by the time i got home, it was almost dark out.

i'm a little nervous, but i think if i don't aim too high, to just finish the race, i'll be fine. initially, i wanted to be able to finish a marathon in under 4 hours. everything i'm reading is saying i should be happy with just finishing...

more later...gotta go.
