13 Miles of Racing To Do

We’ve all tried to pass the time on a long trip singing “99 Bottle of Beer on the Wall”. If you haven’t, then your deprived life is about to be saved by this version adapted to a half marathon; specifically the Rock N Roll Philadelphia half marathon. With luck you’ll enjoy it enough to forgive me for putting the song into your head.
