My new MP3 player came today. It’s so pretty! (My running shoes came, too. Expect pics.)
Here’s my spanking new workout playlist:
Janis Joplin: Me and Bobby McGee (warm up)
Patty Smythe: The Warrior
ABBA: Dancing Queen
Eminem: Lose Yourself
Wings: Helen Wheels
Bon Jovi: It’s My Life
The Buggles: Video Killed the Radio Star
Eminem: Shake That
Carl Douglas: Kung Fu Fighting (Starting to come down)
Lynard Skynard: Free Bird (Cool Down)
What are your favorite workout songs?
Nick came to the gym with me yesterday. The sweet owner is letting him come all week for free before we commit to paying $30 a month for a year. I was impressed. I half expected him to get bored or tired and not want to continue, but he and I went on the treadmill for 40 minutes, plus some weight machines. He can go faster than me on the treadmill (he’s 17, after all) and did 2 miles in the time it took me to do 1.5. It was so nice having him there, way better than being alone.

Live Once, Juicy 
um, I don’t listen to music when I work out…granted it’s been a while but when I do, I love to listen to my favorite radio podcasts. Although, I’ve got to say, I forgot my ipod at home today so my commute was music by Coyote Grace. It was lovely.
Which podcasts are your favorite? I’ve been listening to a book on tape when I don’t feel like music, but I think I like the music. The book on tape is awesome for the 20 minute drive to the gym and back.
