By far my favorite song is still Float On, by Modest Mouse. There's just something about it - I think it's the free vibe of it. Kind of lightens the feeling of things, and around mile 18 or so, that's exactly what it takes to come the rest of the way.
In fact, I'm finding that for the long haul, there comes a point at which you just have to lesson the load a bit if you're going to have enough in the tank to cross the finish line.
...Ya know?
Modest Mouse - Float On
"I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well he just drove off sometimes life's ok
I ran my mouth off a bit too much oh what can I say
Well you just laughed it off it was all ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on anyway well
Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam
It was worth it just to learn from sleight-of-hand
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on the exactly the same day
Well we'll float on good news is on the way
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on all right
Already we'll all float on
Now don't worry we'll all float on
All right already we'll all float on
All right don't worry we'll all float on
And we'll all float on all right
Already we'll all float on
All right don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy
We'll all float on all right
Already we'll all float on
All right already we'll all float on
Ok don't worry we'll all float on
Even if things get heavy we'll all float on
All right already we'll all float on
Don't you worry we'll all float on
All float on"

oooh that is one of my current faves as well.
I agree the song has a lightening vibe of it...
Sometimes it is really good to put into life into perspective that way. This one gets me through an especially tough day at the office.
Love this song. I like your post below as well. Funny, once the training is done and only the race is left, you start thinking about life after "the big race". It's been so cool to watch you negotiate all of this. Have a good taper week, and have a great time at the race-you've earned it!
Great stuff!
I think you should mix in some Soundtrack tracks from Conan The Barbarian. Those will keep your going for sure.
Queen? Would that be Bohemian Rhapsody? Somehow (except for the quiet ending) that song would fit so well pedelling really fast on the bike.
Yeah - if they wouldn't DQ you on the bike for MP3 players, it would make the ride go A LOT faster :) I'll probably need it for at least some of the run, though ;)
