I still find myself instinctively reaching for this album on the Gigabeat even though I have a couple hundred other albums. There's nothing better for working out.Just to underline the point, I give this example: This past Tuesday, I went to the YMCA and got me a good workout, lifting weights followed with a 500m swim.I walked out of the Y tired yet exhilarated, endorphins kicking hard. I had been listening to Unknown Pleasures on the drive in, but was dissatisfied with it now that I was leaving. I pondered what to queue up when an idea struck: EVERYTHING IS! I switched to it, cranked the volume, rolled down the window, and scared the poop out of the gossiping cougars with all that \m/.And to reprise my lost race results post, I finished my first 10K in *56:42*. Mind overcame body for sure, as my left leg wanted to cramp real bad, but I ran right through it. I got a nice shirt and participation medal, and the thrill of doing something really cool that I never would have considered last year, not to mention two years ago.My next event, if I can manage to get a bike together, will be the local triathlon. That explains the long swim, since the first leg is a 750m swim, followed by a 20k bike ride, topped off with a 5k run. If that doesn't happen, there will also be a 10-mile run the weekend before Thanksgiving.
