Clearly I need to write more here to avoid this turning into simply a log of my running.

It was chilly and misty at six o’clock this morning when I left the house. A few drops hit my face as I ran by Hillcrest Country Club but otherwise the rain waited until about five minutes after I got back to the house. I didn’t get to sleep until one o’clock in the morning — and that was on a very full stomach, including a glass of wine and a cappuccino — so I was sort of lugubrious for the first half hour. I did take a detour up Beverly Glen to Santa Monica Boulevard and then down Century Park West back to Olympic, which was enough to stretch my loop to six miles.

This was my soundtrack:

• Jesus of Suburbia (live) — Green Day
• Fast As You — Dwight Yoakam
• Counting Down the Hours — Ted Leo & the Pharmacists
• End of the Line — Traveling Wilburys
• Pennsylvania — Bloodhound Gang
• My Life Would Suck Without You — Kelly Clarkson
• Hot Rod Lincoln — Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen
• Desolation Row (cover) — My Chemical Romance
• New Way Home — Foo Fighters
• Bridge and Tunnel Authority — Less Than Jake
• Hello, Goodbye — The Beatles
• Eastbound & Down — Jerry Reed
• Get Free — The Vines
• Remember the Name — Fort Minor
