Running
So I am starting to really like running. It used to be something I really had to make myself do but now I actually kind of enjoy it. Part of why I enjoy it is that it is when I listen to a lot of music. Listening to music and running can be tricky because you do not want to listen to anything too fast and wind up halfway into your run and realize you have been sprinting to keep up with the music and are too tired to keep going. But if it is too slow you end up legging. I also am more likely to stop when I am trying to find the perfect song. Today while I was on my run I tried something new I listened to LCD Soundsystem- 45:48. It was made by LCD Soundsystem for Apple and their whole Nike run campaign. Anyway it was pretty good although after working out every day this week my legs were sore and tired and so I did not make it the whole 45:48 but the part I did listen to was perfect. It picked up the pass just around the 10 minute mark right when I need it to. I look forward to running to it the whole way through this weekend.
What do you listen to when you work out?

I just got that LCD soundsystem itunes track... I got one by aesop rock and the crystal method also, let me know if you want to check them out.
honestly, when i go run, i listen to podcasts. I like to listen to funny stuff like wait wait don't tell me, or the movie blog: uncut. it helps me keep a good pace as i run.
if i dont listen to podcasts, i have a special playlist called gym that ill usually listen to, it has upbeat music and that sort of thing on it.
i listen to bike messengers yelling at me and helicopters taking off.
i don't know how mike listens to pod casts - for me, it has to be music with has a driving beat. i don't like listening to the same songs over and over again, so i have a really big running playlist with all kinds of singles from a wide variety of bands. this way, my experience listening to the playlist is different every time. mainstays of the playlist include the donnas, devil makes three, ray charles, le tigre, the ramones, bon jovi, and johnny cash, but many, many others rotate through.
