So I wussed out at the last minute this morning and skipped the 65 miler Eric and Dustin did from Hyde Park to Elgin (and beyond). Sorry, but I just didn't have 3-4 hours available for a ride today.
Since I was up at 7:00 anyway, I went ahead and ran the MoPac to I-35 loop at Town Lake. I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a very social runner. I run to clear my mind, not to chat. So I run with my headphones and Shuffle. Tried something new this weekend. I usually find a song that matches my stride on the trail and end up replaying it all through my run. This weekend, I decided to just load one song in my Shuffle. This way, I don't need to hit repeat all the time. Nothing like hearing the same song 15-20 times in a row to put me in a trance. Granted, I have to anticipate my tempo in advance, but that's not too hard to do. Soundtrack for yesterday: Concrete Blonde: Still in Hollywood. For this morning: REM: Bang and Blame. I'm guessing I was a little faster yesterday.

So was it so annoying you had to turn off the music or did you found it worked?
How do you get the song out of your head after running?
Let me know how it goes if you ever try out The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (if i could walk 500 miles); - Funny episode of "How I Met your Mother:

Don't worry it comes around again
It worked. But then again, I once drove from Veloswap in Denver to Houston straight playing just Sweet Child O' Mine.
Saw that episode of "How I met..." Hilarious.
