loaner car | fast cars | no cars go
I'm not sure what's going on lately, but it seemed that the only license plates I saw on the road today were from Michigan, New Jersey, and North Carolina. Honestly. They were everywhere. There were more Pennsylvania license plates, of course, otherwise I would have started to wonder...I picked up another car from CMTS Ministries! I'm so thankful that there are places like this out there. What a blessing. So now I'm driving a '99 Nissan Sentra. I think this is approximately the eighth time I've switched cars since October 2006. I know my neighbors must be wondering what's going on! Hopefully this is the last one before I move to London.
I've been running again, lately. It feels so good. Granted, it's on a treadmill and it's only 2 1/2 miles at this point, but it's still one of the best stress relievers for me. I probably won't be running 40-45 miles a week ever again...but never say never. Although that was in high school and part of college and without a coach or running partner I just don't see it happening.
I don't run with an iPod/mp3 player when I'm on the road (I like to be aware of my surroundings - namely cars and strange men), but I love listening to music while I'm on the treadmill. Some great running tunes I've been listening to this week:
Angels & Airwaves - "Breathe," "Heaven," & "Sirens"
Arcade Fire - "Keep the Car Running" & "No Cars Go"
U2 - "Fast Cars"
Delirious? - "Heaven"
(I just realized there's a bit of a "heaven" and "cars" theme so far...)
Doves - "Pounding"
Madonna - "Hung Up" (if you like a little dance music)
And Fink's "Pretty Little Thing", is a great walking/cool down tune.
What do you listen to when you run? I'm always looking for new music that's good for running so I'd love to hear your song choices!
Ok, back to emails, letters, and phone calls...

Hmm. I never listen to my iPod while running either but I always thought that a little Moby would be fun while running.
iPod on the treadmill = much safer
Ooo, Moby. Forgot about him! :)
Ha, I borrowed my bro's extra iPod the other day to take with me to the gym. (My iPod is full of folksy, light-sounds. Suf, Rosie, Fitzsimmons and the like).
I worked out to Jay-Z and LOVED it! The only drawback? I wanted SO badly to just stop, dead in my tracks, and bust a move (or 2)... on the treadmill, on the track and on the machines.
Relient K is the best workout music in the world. Fast paced, unique, uplifting, and often funny. You can't beat it. -- Matt
Ky, I'd forgotten about Moby. Reminds me of college. Great idea! And yea, I just don't feel "safe" with an iPod when I'm running on the streets.
Annie! I was laughing out loud at your comment! I can't even tell you how many times I've been running on the treadmill, listening to music and just desperately want to bust out in some dance moves! Seriously. How could I forget Jay-Z?!? I'm gonna put some of his stuff on my iPod TODAY.
Matt, I've never really listened to much of Relient K, but I'm definitely going to look into it! Thanks!
I love all of Relient K's cds, but if I had to start with one it would be Two Lefts Don't Make a Right . . . but Three Do. Enjoy! - Matt
