Happy Tuesday, runners!

Here in the US we've just had a 3 day weekend and here on the east coast, it's getting hot!

In lieu of an inspirational quote today, here's a song off one of my running mixes:

Do you run with music? What's on your running playlist these days?

I always run with music, if only to distract myself from my loud breathing :)

I have an iPod with radio functionality so sometimes I'll listen to the 70s/80s station and sometimes to talk radio (though they rarely have anything interesting on at the times I usually run).

The only drawback is that running the iPod as a radio eats battery like whoa, and signal isn't always good where I run, so I've recently taken to having it play its entire contents in alphabetical order by song title. That should take me through the summer all right :)

And this way, I end up running to music I usually skip because it's not very runnable, like Philip Glass's violin concerto, anything by Van der Graaf Generator, or, shock horror, one of my own songs from way back when.
