The "2112" reset button

One of the great things about post-marathon training is that it is like a reset button. For the first time in 18 weeks, I was able to simply run without any regard for time or past performance.

So after four days of rest, I did what I always do on the first post-marathon run of the season - I put the epic 20-minute Rush song "2112" on my Ipod and ran a carefree three miles. 

Knowing I would be a little slow, and having fun with the "year" theme, I also added one of Phish's renditions of "2001"  - the classical piece "Also Sprach Zarathustra", best known for its usage in '2001: A Space Odyssey', but performed in the funk disco mode of Deodato's 1970s recording.

Awesome.
