Mother Nature's Stairmaster: OWNED

In yet another instance of me perpetuating a Vancouver stereotype, I've been hauling myself up Grouse on a weekly basis over summer. I might as well throw all modesty out the window here,
because another glory grab is in order.

Despite the wave of fatigue over me due to mild hangover, I summitted the Grind in 49 minutes, 35 seconds. It wasn't pretty. In fact, after a series of dry heaves at the top, I'm pretty sure I was dangerously close to cardiac arrest. But, being the impossibly obstinate woman I am, I jogged up the last quarter, watching the passersby mouths agape probably wondering "is this chick insane?"

In any case, I would like to dedicate this posting to the following artists and their respective songs. Without these tunes plugged into my MP3 player, I'd be lucky if i even made it up the mountain in less than an hour.

1.) FAITH NO MORE: Gentle art of making enemies
2.) DAVE MATTHEWS BAND: Two step
3.) GREEN DAY: Holiday
4.) METALLICA: Master of Puppets
5.) MOBY: Extreme Ways
6.) PEARL JAM: Porch
7.) BEASTIE BOYS: Ch-Ch-Check it Out
8.) SURVIVOR: Eye of the Tiger
9.) NELLY FURTADO: Promiscuous Girl
10.) TERRY BUSH: Theme song for "The Littlest Hobo"
