"Sometimes you have to become an animal to experience certain things."
It's funny how sometimes music reflects life. Or does life reflect music? I don't know. but this mixtape/set was inspired by my run through the hills of CT with legendary marathoner Gary Allen during his Maine 2 DC Run (www.maine2dcrun.com). I crewed and ran with Gary for over 48 hours and 100 miles. I ran almost a marathon with him the middle of the second day, but the last 8 miles of that day was something I'll never forget. We ran together in the pitch darkness, with nothing but our headlamps to light the way. Running side-by-side, perfectly in-sync with each other, breathing, striding as one, grunting, rubbing elbows and ABUSING the pavement. Animalistic synchronicity. Simpatico. Primal Synergy. One of the best running experiences of my life...
