Runner's Heights: Two Shining Stars of the Tulsa Sound

Cumulative miles: 8.56
The virtues of run-walk have been extolled ad infinitum and it is, for many of us, a solution to running without injuries. But, the jury is out on whether you should stretch in the midst of a break during your run. In this last run, I did a few quick stretches of the calves and the hamstrings and I didn't notice any debilitating effects of the stretches. So, I shall introduce a few stretches in between breaks during my run and report on the results.

J.J.Cale is one of the most low-key and laid-back rock musicians of the present day. Many rock anthologists associate his music with the Tulsa sound, a style of music with roots in Tulsa Oklahoma. Leon Russell is another well-know musician from Oklahoma and Cale and Russell have collaborated to produce some amazing renditions of Cale's work, such as After Midnight, a J.J. Cale original made especially famous by Eric Clapton.

Here's some footage of Cale and Russell jamming on After Midnight.
