The times they are a-changin’.
This post seems to be older than 13 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.
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
