Week 1, Day 4 - Well my temperature is rising got my feet on the floor

I have decided music is the key to my success at this marathon malarkey. Today there was a distinct improvement in my performance, I actually ran, ACTUAL running took place. It wasn't for long but for a few beautiful minutes I was an athletic machine, giving her best gold medal performance race!  And what you may ask do I owe this success to?? ........

I owe it to these four gentlemen.

This is the Spencer Davis Group. I know their music. I love their music. Even when I was a child and my mum and dad used play their tape of the 'Buster' soundtrack with the song 'Keep On Running' over and over and over again , it never put me off, it only made me love it more. I love the song 'Gimme Some Loving', genius, timeless classic! These four beautifully quaffed, 70's impresarios from the land of the Brummie, got me through the gym today, made me feel like an Olympic gold medal winner, gave me that edge to push myself harder, faster, stronger.

However, as much as I was familiar and in love with their music until about an hour ago I had no idea what they looked like. Rightly or wrongly their soulful sound, those on point harmonies made me assume the 'Spencer Davis Group' had to be a product of  Motown, or a Memphis Sun Studio. So I got home and I Googled them and  found that picture above.

Not only was I wrong, very wrong, about what I was expecting them to look like but these four specimens of brilliance were from the land of Birmingham, England not even Birmingham, Alabama!!....

not quite Memphis!

I do not know what shocked me more, me running or my reaction when I saw exactly what the Spencer Davis Group looked like!

So Spencer Davis Group, thank you for your motivational, arse kicking tunes,  I salute you!
