RE: Long March Rocket
A scorched Sydney summer runner writes...
Curse this continuing, wretched, infernal heat. Even at 7 a.m. it was so hot and humid I could only complete nine kilometres of my scheduled twenty kilometre long run before throwing in the towel, which by then was so saturated it could have filled a substantial bucket with my sweat. I really have had enough of this weather - especially the humidity.
So, this week has suddenly transformed into an unscheduled step back week. No bad thing in itself, but extremely frustrating even so.
In one of those strange twists of fate, two songs came up on the iPod in succession which succinctly summed up my attitude: Phil Collin's I Wish it Would Rain Down, and The Walker Brothers' The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore. Yeah, well, one can hope.
I think Phil wins the TdJ this time (with Eric Clapton on lead guitar). I've always loved this song, and the video is a nice self-deprecating piece of nonsense. This is the shorter version, but a lot of fun, and exactly matches my sentiment at the moment. Please, let's have some god-damned rain and cooler weather!
