dichroic | IPod’s shuffle is not being helpful!

The book I was listening(1) to finished while I was 5km into through today’s 10km workout, so I decided to listen to music instead of starting a new audiobook. I set my iPod to random shuffle. Today’s workout was 1km warmup, then 3 sets of 1km hard, 2 km easy. (“Hard” is meant to be your PR 5km pace, “Easy” is marathon pace.) Just as I was going into the last hard kilometer, a new song came on…

Anatevka, from Fiddler on the Roof.

Depressing music is not good for working out! And when you’re about to leave Europe for good (and Jewish, just to boot), it doesn’t get much more depressing than “Soon I’ll be a stranger in a strange new place, Searching for an old familiar face”.

Maybe it’s time to go listen to London Homesick Blues again…
