Getting Strong Now

The home town is celebrating big time after last night's game, so I don't feel the need add my two raving cents about Big Blue. I will, however, post my favorite commercial from the game.

I'm such a sucker for Bill Conti's work, particularly the somber piano opening:

< Clydesdale Training - Budweiser

iTunes users voted the song #9 on the top 10 "Powersong" list. The others are:

  1. Eye of the Tiger
  2. Pump It
  3. Here It Goes Again
  4. Lose Yourself
  5. 'Till I Collapse
  6. SexyBack
  7. Stronger
  8. Remember The Name
  9. Gonna Fly Now
  10. Move Along

Interestingly, I also fall into the "Clydesdale" class of athletes a.k.a stocky runners. A Clydesdale runner is a male 200 lbs and over. Women over 145 lbs are referred to as "Athenas" or "Fillys". Both sound a hell of a lot better than "fat."
