Running is good. Treadmill is good. MP3 player is good.

I figured it was time to post something other than "I'm a racist" on my blog, since I'm friending up lots of people on my Facebook page. I'm pretty sure that is where most of the traffic on my blog comes from.

I've been keeping up with the 4-day-a week routine at the gym pretty well. I'm starting to at least look forward to completing the run, if not enjoy it. I think I like it more than lifting weights, so I guess that's something. I'm going to have to stop eating so much if I really want to lose weight, but I guess that hasn't really been a primary goal.

I did pick up a 16 GB flash card for my phone, so I guess I'm trying to decide whether I want to use it or my mp3 player, which has a 30 GB hard drive... and a strap, and an investment... but no bluetooth. I guess I'll have to test it when a get a chance to load it up, and see if I get drop-outs like I did with the Shadow. Wired headsets may just be the way to go. The Zune's been good to me. I might not sell it. (But hey, if you're interested in a 30 GB White Zune, with some accessories, LMK. LOL.)

I don't run outside, and I don't run with others. My treadmill routine is pretty erratic, and my wife doesn't run with me. Sometimes I run "against" people at the gym who look like their doing something other than just running as fast as they can, for as long as they can. Sometimes I just put my player on shuffle, and keep clicking through crappy songs, rather than a playlist (note to self... get more playlists...) but I can tell you that I can certainly fit all the songs that are good for "Treadmill Running" in a smaller set than what I've got organized now.

I'm currently alternating 20 minutes running and weight lifting on odd days, with long distance running (currently at 3 miles/40 minutes) on even days. But, I'm not really very good at sticking to that. Sometimes it is the clock, sometimes it is me. I guess I'm actually going to have to start charting it. Sigh... this is becoming a habit. I can live with that.
