One month ago I decided to run a marathon…a dash…a run. Something.

Today I picked up my race bib (#9885), my timing chip, and my shirt. I also calibrated my Nike + iPod by running over to Roosevelt High School and running around their track a couple of times. I also finalized my iPod music, which has been carefully and scientifically calibrated to be awesome:

Action This Day	Queen	Hot Space
Paranoid Android	Radiohead	OK Computer
Riding The Waves	Afro Celt Sound System	Volume 2: Release
The Piano Knows Something I Don’t Know	Panic At The Disco	Pretty. Odd.
Dirt Off Your Android (Instrum	Jaydiohead	Jaydiohead Instrumentals
The Middle	Jimmy Eat World	Bleed American
I’ll Do Anything	Jason Mraz	Waiting for My Rocket to Come
Just a Dream	James Fate	Nate James is James Fate
The Hands That Built America {From Gangs of New York}	U2	Best of 1990-2000 [Bonus Tracks/DVD] Disc 1
Kashmir	Bond	Shine
Gamble Everything For Love	Ben Lee	Awake is the New Sleep
Go to Sleep	Radiohead	Hail to the Thief
Flower	Moby	Gone in 60 Seconds
Wheels	Cake	Pressure Chief
Such Great Heights	The Postal Service	Give Up
The Electric Co.	U2	Boy
Human	The Killers	Day & Age
Circle Of Life	Various Artists	The Lion King

In terms of running, here’s a synopsis of what I’ve been doing:

My goal is to run the entire thing with under 8 minutes/mile (about 5 minutes/kilometer) and I think I can actually do it! All that’s left to do is go run! Sunday morning, 8:40am, Belltown, be there.

Update: I created an iMix for iTunes: Run Mix 1
