I remember a spinning instructor in Uppsala who always ended her 75 minute endurance pass with the song Alive by Jennifer Brown. And when you really exhaust yourself for the full 75 minutes, a cheesy pop song like is pretty appropriate.

Yesterday about halfway up the first hill of death, I remembered that song. And right now while every muscle in my body is settling into cement-like states, I can't help but think of that song again.

Isn't training wonderful? =)
