DougRob - 2011-01-24 10:50 AM Sam, looking through your song list it is obvious to me that I cannot help you...at all. I own none of those songs! Not a one! Wow! I mean I know what some of them are, but I must be getting old.

Still waiting for an answer to her question.  And IMO your rhetoric on other's opinion, which is what has been offered, being "BS" is uncalled for.... Professor.  Now, Go play with your academic friends.

Not to fear Doug, I am asking for help b/c I mostly listen to Classical, NPR or a station that boasts the best of yesterday and today!  So I feel woefulyl behind on my running tunes.  I forgot how great an inspiration music can be until I was about busting out of the skin at 5:30AM at the start of the Disney marathon w/ fireworks going off and Taio Cruz's Dynamite blasting over the speakers!  It was awesome.

SoccerGK - 2011-01-24 12:00 PM Super bummed about the loss last night.  Congrats to the Packers fans.  Maybe next time we'll show up before the 4th quarter though.  Please celebrate gently around me, I'm actually very emotional about these sorts of things! 

Sam - I have absolutely no music suggestions for working out.  I haven't listened to music while working out in ages, and the actual music I do listen to would REALLY suck to workout to.  It's too mellow.  I also like the idea of pace runs instead of all long, slow distances!  If you have a goal, might as well practice it.

And I don't have a coach, so take my advice with a grain of salt.  I coach myself, and have no results to give from it!

Kyla - I LOVE that story about your daughter!  How cute.  Will it be a gift for the next occasion now?

Erica--you live in West Bend WI and wanted the Bears? what's wrong with you?   What about your man?  does he at least bleed green and gold?

It is a yoga pose. I just don't seem to bend this way!

SSMinnow - 2011-01-24 4:54 PM

I tried this.  I am glad I do Eischen's yoga which is based more on building strength that increasing flexibility.....I looked ridiculous.

DougRob - 2011-01-24 1:58 PM

Unfortunately flexibility is what I lack. So my hope is that with diligence I can gain flexibility by doing Yoga 2-3 times/week. The three routines I have are for base, flexibility and core. A lot of my exercises for my achillies are incorporated in these routines which range from 47 to 58 minutess. There are probably worse positions than this one, but for now this is my worst. I am about as good at this as I am at side crunches!

SSMinnow - 2011-01-24 2:11 PM REAL QUESTION AHEAD and ALL OPINIONS WELCOME

I have a 310XT and want to know how to use it to capture HR data when on the TM.  My current method is to disable the GPS, but when looking in TP, it doesn't pick up all the HR data..only some of it.  What do the rest of you do?

kkcbelle - 2011-01-24 7:46 PM I always keep a bunch of songs on my mp3 player on shuffle, and just FF if I don't like what I'm hearing. Oftentimes for runs I listen to NPR, talk radio, or local radio. That gives me current music.

Here are some old stand-by's from my playlist. Keep in mind I'm older than you! I also have funny songs that suit a situation -- like Laughter in the Rain by Neil Sedaka... very appropriate sometimes around here!!! (I actually have lots of rain songs!) My mostest favoritests get-me-going music, as I've said time and again and as you can see below, is the Foo Fighters. And for LSDs, I love stuff that is easy on the ears and rambling, like Grateful Dead and Dave Matthews. Reading through this since I've typed it up, I see I need to perk it up a bit with some newer stuff again, but honestly I don't listen to it often so it doesn't get old. Love the lists published as there are some great newer songs on there for me. (Dynamite is one of my son's most fave songs -- it is a good one to get going!)

SoccerGK - 2011-01-24 7:06 PM Kyla - (a) I LOVE that you have RENT on your playlist.  La Vie Boheme=awesome!  (b) I owe you huge time on your swimming advice!  I focused on my breathing during today's swim, and I felt great.  I actually started taking fewer breaths and making sure I've gotten all the air out before I take another, and it's helped so far!  There's so much to focus on while swimming!
