Today’s song for Music Monday is taking us back a few decades and it’s a great song for any runner! But, it’s especially fitting for those who have tackled at least 25 miles. Hence, the name. I kept thinking of this song, “25 Miles” from Edwin Starr, Sunday morning as I was volunteering for Angeles Crest 100…
There are certainly days when I just want to live inside a Michael Franti & Spearhead song. While I don’t know their whole catalog of music, I’ve listened to enough of their music to know it’s filled with love, positivity, and great energy. What’s not to LOVE about that?
