I love the new Muse CD. Very good to run to.

Congrats! Since the only excercise I get is playing Dance Dance Revolution, I don’t really have a choice for what music I get, but my favorite band is TOOL, and I also like a lot of other stuff like John Mayer, Imojen Heap, and the Black Eyed Peas. I’m pretty eclectic on my music tastes. Are you going to join Favorite Color Swap 2?

I loved the special colorway you made during the holidays. I clicked on it several times before finally saying, “no I just can’t do it” and then the other day I saw it knitted up on somewhere online and it was gorgeous! I couldn’t stop kicking myself! I dropped by your site to let you know I’m sneaking past you in the mileage total for runagogo. I plan on making it to 15 by tomorrow.

First, I must say that I have been enjoying your blog for a while and yet this is my first comment. I can't even begin to tell you how jealous I am of your yarn dyeing... we must chat more about this offline.

Second, Way to go with the running! I just started running last year and have since run a 5K and average about 12 miles a week. I must say your choice of music is rather interesting, I tend to listen to a lot of techno/dance/trance music. You know something with a heavy beat. Lately it has been a lot of mixes by DJ Irene, occasional Dance mix of Nick LaChey.

Okkervil River is cool! “Black” is such a great song…

Ah, I love Andrew Bird! I don’t really excercise (I commute by bike and go for lots of walkies) so I don’t have excercise music, but it would probably be Death From Above 1979, Gogol Bordello, Korpiklaani (Spirit of The Forest), aaaaand the Scissor Sisters.

congrats on your progress on runagogo! :)

I really need to pick up some Andrew Bird -- I keep meaning to, but haven't! I love Muse and Arcade Fire though. :)

Great job! Isn’t it amazing how much easier it gets?

What gets me motivated are Gwen Stefani and Fergie. It’s a bit embarrassing… but my favorite music really doesn’t get me going. Gwen and Fergie are full of so much energy it rubs off!

OK,

I’ll be the first! Way to go on the exercise and diet. Why don’t you come over and cook your parents one of those healthy meals!!! As far as the music goes, the only one I’ve heard about is U2. We both know that you wouldn’t listen to any music I’d recommend, so I’ll keep my musical favorites to myself! Give Emma and Dallas a hug! Love Mom
