So…
In light of potentially resurrecting a dwindling (non) football career at the age of 32, the other night I begrudgingly went for a run and grabbed a dusty old iPod for some motivational beats to soundtrack my suffering.
(I’m told
suffering physically is good in terms of running and that type of thing).
What transpired was not in any way ideal for a man who
regards motivation when running as paramount. No motivation = no run.
It turned out that this particular MP3 player droid had last been used
WAY BACK in 2013 to soundtrack a wedding reception.
So, there I was all red faced and panting like a dog in the sun searching for motivation which wasn't coming.
I trudged slowly
around my laps of the field to the sounds of Mott The Hopple, the soothing doo-wop
of the Temptations and, as my body gave in under the weight of exercise, pumping
out of my headphones was Kermit the Frog.
Kermit the F’ing Frog.
I returned home shaking my head and sweating like a person
who doesn't run much.
I needed to resolve this soundtracking issue and I’m pleased
to say I achieved my goal.
Behold, I present to you my new training mix MP3 to drag you
through your pre-season running pain.
Football training might hurt but these joints might help you dig
deeper.
