Hello friends and randoms, The National Capital Marathon is nearly upon us and I am about to inflict unexpected agony on my body. To help ease the pain I will pass the time listening to music, which should be both motivational and upbeat. The last marathon I ran included some tracks suggested by you [...] October 8th, 2010
