Gettin' Antsy... Ain't Gettin' Old.

As I prepare to attend the last lecture of my summer course, and putting the finishing touches on my paper (I am projecting that this will actually happen tonight, Olympics and all), I am feeling like I haven't been running in far too long. Last Friday was the last time I managed to get out, but since then the combination of knee pain and paper writing has forced me to lay low. Tomorrow I will be driving to Ottawa, thereby preventing me from jumping back in for another day. Saturday is THE day, though. I am going to start slow - just planning a 5k along the canal, nice and slow, nice and flat, lots of other runners (usually), lots of ducks... Can't wait! I'll wonder how many of the runners I pass along the way are into blogging...

Name the artist and song:

"Ain't gettin' old. Ain't gettin' younger though.
Just gettin' used to the lay of the land."*

* just how I'm feeling these days...

Update: A hearty "Good Work!" for michelle j. who correctly guessed that the above lyric comes from Neil Young's "Hawkes and Doves". Good stuff and thanks!
