Ugh. Today I attempted a short tempo run - 35 minutes, starting slow, building to 10K pace for a mere six minutes in the middle, then slowing back down again to finish. I felt as if I was pulling a sled of bricks while trying to run the fast part. It just was not happening.
Ten days until the Gansett Marathon and I am fizzling out.
On a positive note, I received my cassette player via FedEx on Friday and was happily converting Phish's shows from 3/21/92 (Chestnut Cabaret, Philadelphia, PA), 3/24/92 (Flood Zone, Richmond, VA) and 3/25/92 (Trax, Charlottesville, VA) over the weekend.
These shows include a very early version of "Weigh" and the soon-to-be-rarity "Take the A-Train" (3/21/92), an insane performance of "Brother" with Carl Gerhard providing a frantic trumpet solo (3/24/92), and the "white boys attack" bit in the vocal jam of "You Enjoy Myself" (3/25/92). This was also part of the brief period when Jon Fishman's intro music was "Cold as Ice" instead of "Hold Your Head Up" and he played that strange sounding Bag-Vac instead of his usual Electrolux. The boys definitely sounded fiery in these performances, though that is no surprise - they were playing small clubs, but were on their way up.
