My five-mile time last night was 47:16. That’s not exactly stellar, but I’ll take it. Thirty miles down, 1,795 to go.

I have a playlist on my Nano with about 75 songs on it. They’re all great “running” songs, either because of the tempo or just because they’re motivational. Here are the tracks I heard last night on my route.

  1. I suggest giving a listen to “Podruner”. The DJ puts together various mixes at a fixed BPM just for runners. Find a BPM that works for you and it will help you maintain your pace!

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
