More Lost Miles: Shelby Lynne, Old 97's, Miranda, Iggy, White Stripes, Jason Isbell & Replacements

Song For The Soundtrack:
Life Is Bad
These miles of music didn't turn into the 2015 Capital City Half Marathon they were supposed to become.

But, that doesn't make any of these records less memorable, just the victims of a winter full of training fits and more stops than starts.

The Replacements call it a "mess on the ladder of success/Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung."

My May pledge is to make it up to them at the finish line of a big Fall race.
